Bug#772555: init-system-helpers: deb-systemd-helper does not respect systemd Preset files

[Raphaël Hertzog]

Package: init-system-helpers
Version: 1.22
Severity: wishlist
User: devel at kali.org
Usertags: origin-kali

Filing a bug following this IRC conversation:
15:32  * buxy finds out http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Preset/ 
15:32 <buxy> is this usable in Debian?
15:33 <buxy> looking at deb-systemd-helper, I don't see anything implying
that "systemctl preset" would be used...
15:34 <buxy> this is a bit of a pity since it means that no derivative can
implement a different default policy
15:53 <Md> buxy: yes, but for stretch I think that we can just update
deb-systemd-helper to support this

It would be nice if we could make use of systemd Presets to disable some
services by default, and to let derivatives make different choices than
Debian.

systemd upstream expects distributions to call "systemctl preset
foo.service" when the package gets installed to initially enable/disable
the service.

deb-systemd-helper doesn't do this currently.
