This is the output from dovecot, which clearly failed to start on boot...

But both samba and sshd failed similarly. I have vague recollections
somewhere of seeing a reference to qm in either the sshd or samba output
pre-restart, but don't know how to get back to it. (qm is the program
started by scarletdme.service.)
Any ideas, anybody suspect it might be a bug in systemd? I've fixed the
scarletdme.service, but it's a bit weird that it's the first time I
booted with the broken .service, and three (at least) other services
failed. Although my system does seem to have stability problems, so I
don't know for certain where to place any blame.
Have you checked the whole `journalctl -b` for messages that happened around the actual failure? Could be just about anything, from services getting stopped due to their dependencies failing, to something missing due to *lack of* dependencies, to OOM killing random processes...
