It's a bug in the official Jenkins package:
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-18798

Workaround: remove Ubuntu's jenkins and jenkins-common packages before
installing the upstream version of the package.

Be sure to also remove the /etc/init/jenkins.conf (since it's a
conffile, apt-get removing jenkins will leave it in place -- and this
will break startup.)  Another bug:
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-19329
