I had to edit /etc/default/elasticsearch and uncomment 
START_DAEMON=true. systemctl stop + start and it runs.

However the fact remains, systemd is confusingly reporting ES as being 
started when it is not. IMHO, that's an issue.

AFAICT, most daemon packages in Debian actually start said daemon by 
default. I think the "default" file should just ship with START_DAEMON=true.

Cheers,
