[Bug 1707136] [NEW] ryncd does not start when RSYNC_ENABLE is specified

[Christian Reis]

Public bug reported:

In the good old days, all you needed to ensure rsyncd started upon boot
was to set RSYNC_ENABLE to true in /etc/default/rsync.

With the systemd transition, this broke, and you need to manually issue

   systemctl enable rsync

in order for it to be wanted by multi-user.target, which causes it to
start upon boot.
