To clarify, this *only* applies to dh_systemd_start, not _enable,
right? As such .service units should never have an [Install] section,
only their *.timer units should have.

So I wonder, does it actually make sense for dh_systemd_start to start
units which we don't enable? This is highly inconsistent between
"right after package install" vs. "behaviour after boot".

Thus, would it not make sense to teach dh_systemd_start to ignore
units without [Install] by default?

TBH I don't like the current patch very much. path, socket etc. units
have the exact same problem, and it looks like a too specific hack.

Thanks,

Martin
