[Bug 1712817] Re: postinst fails if the service is disabled via systemd

[Robie Basak]

On second thought, perhaps invoke-rc.d should treat a systemd disabled
service the same way as one done through the policy-rc.d mechanism.
Whichever way, the correct behaviour should be decided package-wide by
the invoke-rc.d wrapper, so I'm reassigning to init-system-helpers.
