Thanks for doing the verification. Looks like deb-systemd-invoke is being called with the -q flag in the maintainer scripts, but the tool doesn't actually support it. The tools behaves well even with that extra flag (the return codes are the expected ones), but it's not quiet (that's where that "active" string comes from in your log excerpt).

The extra flag has been introduces in Debian in [1], and apparently his issue also affects Debian, but I see no bug report about it. As far as I can tell it's a cosmetic thing, but I won't modify the SRU verification tags for now: I prefer to leave the final word to Bryce.
