what is your specific problem?

besdies there is no need for ExecStop at all and you can use type=simple
combined with "-D FOREGROUND"

EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/httpd
Environment="PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
Environment="LANG=C.UTF-8"
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -D FOREGROUND
ExecReload=/usr/sbin/httpd $OPTIONS -k graceful

DUNNO what's about all that useless "deb-systemd-helper"
