Actually my use of MPD requires default.target for users mpd service.
I'm sharing a server with a friend, we both run our own instance of MPD 
to stream music through icecast (and we only have a shell to manage our 
accounts, no graphical env.).

I've always seen MPD as an audio player for advanced *nix users, I don't 
think we should make it too much "foolproof". I believe the current 
defaults for user/system services are a good trade off: user service 
disabled and system service enabled/started. It's well documented both 
in /usr/share/doc/mpd and on the https://wiki.debian.org/mpd

I suggest to close this bug.
Would it be fine with you ?
Cheers

ps: sorry for this late reply
