Public bug reported:

In Xenial starting rsync (3.1.1-3ubuntu1) as a daemon ignores the
default file /etc/default/rsync, and hence the parameters traditionaly
stored in this file.

This appears to be due to systemd (229-4ubuntu10) initiating the startup
process from

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/rsync.service

which starts the process via

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rsync --daemon --no-detach

The traditional startup method in /etc/init.d/rsync collects the values
from the default file and starts the daemon accordingly.  This method is
consistent with the current documentation and conflicts with systemd's
startup process.
