http://cgit.freedesktop.org/udisks/commit/?id=0d5aeb6715d981c5344f1f1bb24b02253f3c979b http://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/commit/?id=07a6c353a26689e9907788d29d78f8b5c0212b31 udisks2.service should have an [Install] section just like upower.service which would allow users to enable it with systemctl. I am not even sure why it wasn't there right from the beginning. Possibly because the commit author have only considered GNOME use-case (see the comment of the [Install] section on upower.service). For example, if you only use a simple wm with xinit/startx, udisks2.service won't be started until you run something like gnome-disks or nautilus which activates the dbus service. This does not make sense when udisksd can be used to restore ATA settings. FWIW, the service file in "udisks1" does not have an [Install] section either. P.S. The [Install] section doesn't even have direct relation to "speeding things up".
Which ATA settings does it restore right now? Do you mean bug 92488? udisks' only interface to the world is through D-Bus, so the Type=dbus (and thus absent [Install]) is quite on purpose. udisks never had an init.d script either, it has always just been activated through D-Bus (/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.UDisks2.service)
I don't think the [Install] section would have any conflict with Type=dbus. It's just a way for the users to have to a way to have it started with boot if they don't use a Display Manager or a "DE" like gnome-session. Obviously you didn't read the upower commit I pasted. Actually in Lennart Poettering's original patch a [Install] section is included as well: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29205 It's just somehow the maintainer back then used a patch from someone else instead and obviously that author is only GNOME-awared. (You can see that the two commit I pasted is from the same person)

*shrug* okay. I'd still prefer distro packages to not actually systemctl enable this by default, as we'd pointlessly start it on servers, LXC containers, etc then.
an [Install] section does NOT make it enabled by default. It's the way to ALLOW users to enable it. FWIW, the sane ways to "enable it by default" is either having a static service like the current one AND ALSO a "manual" symlink in a /usr/lib/systemd/system/*.target.wants/ created by upstream, or having a non-static service (i.e. service with an [Install] section) and a post-install script in the distro package to run a `systemctl enable` (so that the package manager won't track the enable/disable status). And these are NOT what I have been proposing. I am merely asking for the CAPABILITY of enabling it through systemctl. As I've said, this is mainly useful when udisksd is used to implement persistent ATA settings. However two key factors are STILL broken: one, the systemd service is static; two, udiskd is not sleep-resume aware. This is all about not limiting users from inherit capabilities in the system and not wasting the efforts which the devs had put into making udisksd the daemon for persistent ATA settings.
