New description:

I have vcc_err_unref set to off in varnish.params:

{{{
[root@no000010sapit0 ~]# grep ^DAE /etc/varnish/varnish.params
DAEMON_OPTS="-p vcc_err_unref=off"
}}}

But when I try to start Varnish it fails with unused subs:

{{{
[root@no000010sapit0 ~]# service varnish start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start varnish.service
Job for varnish.service failed. See 'systemctl status varnish.service' and
'journalctl -xn' for details.
[root@no000010sapit0 ~]# journalctl -xn | cat

Sep 09 09:35:22 no000010sapit0.moller.local varnishd[19404]: Message from
VCC-compiler:
Sep 09 09:35:22 no000010sapit0.moller.local varnishd[19404]: Unused sub
pass_if_gethead, defined:
Sep 09 09:35:22 no000010sapit0.moller.local varnishd[19404]: ('input' Line
48 Pos 5)
Sep 09 09:35:22 no000010sapit0.moller.local varnishd[19404]: sub
pass_if_gethead
}}}

The problem is that /usr/lib/systemd/system/varnish.service has an
ExecStartPre
that does not use/consider $DAEMON_OPTS. It needs to, particularly for
that vcc_err_unref=off setting.

Comment:

Summing this up: we need DAEMON_OPTS in the pre-command. Not in place in
4.1, haven't checked 4.0. Assuming ownership.
