In my experience, that's not enough to enable a unit.
I had to add explicit enables for the krb5-kdc.service unit in the
krb5-kdc package (similar for krb5-admin-server); update-rc.d didn't do
the trick.

I agree that update-rc.d foo enable|disable does also seem to deal with
the unit.
I agree that it sometimes prints messages about how it's keeping things
in sync.
However, I've never seen evidence that update-rc.d foo defaults actually
does the right thing with the unit.
