[Robie Basak]

Bug 1577596 is diagnosed as having a similar "unknown" runlevel invoke-
rc.d problem. Is that a dupe of this bug?

Bug description:
  SRU TEST CASE:

  Using the following cloud config, apache2 will fail to start on
  installation on Xenial:

  #cloud-config
  packages:
  - apache2

  See for example:

  $ gcloud compute instances create xenial-$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M) --image ubuntu-1604-xenial-v20160420c --image-project ubuntu-os-cloud --metadata-from-file user-data=cloud-config
  NAME                ZONE            MACHINE_TYPE   PREEMPTIBLE  INTERNAL_IP  EXTERNAL_IP    STATUS
  xenial-160427-1050  europe-west1-d  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.7   104.155.86.94  RUNNING

  $ ssh ubuntu at 104.155.86.94 systemctl status apache2.service
  ● apache2.service - LSB: Apache2 web server
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/apache2; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
    Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/apache2.service.d
             └─apache2-systemd.conf
     Active: inactive (dead)
       Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)

  With the fixed init-system-helpers, apache2.service (or any other
  service you install via "packages:") should start correctly.
