[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#768450: sysv-rc: invoke-rc.d will start a disabled service for systemd-only or systemd+upstart config

[Didier Roche]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.88dsf-57
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

invoke-rc.d will start disabled systemd services when there is no
init script. If we only had an upstart (or none) and systemd job,
the job is started unconditionally on invoke-rc.d [restart|start],
which is called by generated dh_installinit postinst (for upstart).

After a discussion on #debian-systemd, it seems the conscensus is to
use a similar logic in invoke-rc.d than the one built for upstart:
- invoke-rc.d start <unit> don't do anything on systemd if the service is
   disabled.
- invoke-rc.d restart <unit> only restart a disabled service if the daemon
  was already running (forced by the admin).
