The migration recomputed whether cups-browsed was active at the start of every run, after an earlier run may already have stopped it. A run interrupted between that stop and the completion marker left the service down, and the retry that followed read it as inactive, skipped the restart, and wrote the marker anyway: printer discovery stayed off until the next reboot with no migration left to bring it back. Keying the restart to whether the unit is enabled survives the interruption, and reports not-enabled for a unit the user masked or disabled, which restarting would fail on and abort the migration short of its marker.
