I sent a patch to this ticket yesterday, before remembering this morning
that y'all probably weren't auto-Cc'd on it by debbugs.

Please have a look over it, especially the tests, in case I missed some
functionality or misinterpreted some requirements.

This will probably be deserving of a news item, since it will cause
multiple deletes on the same service type to fail, and that's what at
least some people are doing due to the previous patch.

One option would be to convert the ‘raise’ incantations to warnings, at
least for a while to give people a chance to update without their
configs breaking, but I don't know a good way to do that.
