Description tiposchi 2014-12-15 09:46:18 UTC 
The bug has been reported in debian as well.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=751638


Basically running

# systemctl is-enabled postfix
Failed to get unit file state for postfix.service: No such file or directory

So it is not possible for me to know if a sysvinit service is enabled or not.

Currently, when we detect that a sysv service is to be modified we forward any requests to "chkconfig" as fallback. THis works corerctly on RH derived distros, but Debian doesn't have chkconfig, it has update-rc.d instead. I'd be willing to merge a patch that makes systemctl invoke that as fallback, instead. However, we'd need at patch from the Debian folks for this.
Comment 2 Martin Pitt 2015-02-27 05:24:54 UTC 
The sysv-generator already figures out whether an init.d script is enabled or not, and generates the corresponding runlevel?.target.wants symlinks (or in master, {multi-user,graphical}.target.wants, but that's not relevant for this bug). So we could know this without having to ask chkconfig/update-rc.d.

This became obsolete with http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=0f0467e63b0e068

Distros/Debian can now implement this check in their systemd-sysv-install script (I'm just doing so now).
