Bug#774625: Disabled services in sysvinit are started/reenabled during transition to systemd

[Wolodja Wentland]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-8
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

services that have explicitly been disabled in sysvinit with "update-rc.d
disable $SERVICE" are enabled/started in systemd after the transition. This
requires users to keep track of the service status before the upgrade/transition
and might cause serious problems if service that weren't supposed to run are
started unintentionally.

If this cannot be solved technically then it would probably make sense to
reassign this bug to release-notes and warn users about this behaviour so that
they can take appropriate actions. It would, in that case, still be unclear how
users could prevent services from being started though.

Thank you and keep up the great work!
