Looking at this bug again, this is actually an issue in update-rc.d. We first call update-rc.d foo enable|disable if there is a matching sysv init script. update-rc.d then goes on and *also* handles the WantedBy= symlinks, and does so silently. If update-rc.d is called by systemctl, it should probably *not* process the .service file and only handle the sysv init script. The reason why update-rc.d has (limited) support for .service files is, that it's not guaranteed that systemctl is always available and we wanted to make sure the state is kept in sync. We should rework this integration: - If systemctl is installed and systemctl calls update-rc.d, update-rc.d should *not* process the native .service file - If systemctl is installed and the user runs update-rc.d foo disable|enable, update-rc.d should call systemctl. - If systemctl is not installed and the user runs update-rc.d, the fallback in update-rc.d to process .service files should be called. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
