Sure, sorry for not being more clear about it:

Currently, when installing vsftpd, the unit file vsftpd.service does not
get enabled within the vsftpd package. We (as in the systemd
maintainers) realized that before the wheezy release and added an ugly
kludge which would just enable any unit (with a hardcoded blacklist)
unconditionally.

We now must get rid of this kludge, or our users cannot disable services
(using “systemctl disable”). Applying the patch I sent will add the
appropriate code to enable your service file.

I hope that makes it clearer. Let me know if you have any further
questions.
