Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release:        16.04

serf:
  Installed: 0.6.4~ds1-1
  Candidate: 0.6.4~ds1-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.6.4~ds1-1 500
        500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expected:
installing serf (apt install serf) results in a working serf installation

Actual:
installing serf results in systemd and serf errors

--
The install service definition (/lib/systemd/system/serf.service) has invalid 
lines, causing the service to fail to start.

1.
ExecPreStart= should read ExecStartPre=
(this is fixed in hashicorp/serf GitHub repository as a typo)

2.
ExecStart= gives the wrong path, the executable is not installed under 
/usr/local/bin/serf, but under /usr/bin/serf


--
3.
The specified configuration directory /etc/serf contains an example 
configuration (serf.json.example) but no default configuration (serf.json) - 
causing the service to fail on launch.  The example configuration fails on my 
system due to hard-coded interface name "eth0" not being present, and 
specifying the unsuitable "wan" profile.

A suitable "defaults" configuration for my is an empty JSON object "{}"
in /etc/serf/serf.json
