How so? the native unit always overrides the sysv init script. Hence
the fact that the init script is enabled shouldn't really matter.

We did this to be nice to Debian, so that they can support booting
into sysvinit in parallel to systemd, so that the enable status is
kept in sync between systemd and sysvinit.
