Public bug reported:

Hi @all,

On a updated Ubuntu 18.04, if I installed docker via the package
"docker.io" (from universe), the daemon "docker" is not enabled by
default as you can seen in the following paste:

~# systemctl is-enabled docker.service 
disabled
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

And of course, after a reboot, the daemon "docker" is not started
automatically.

So in the postinst script of the package "docker.io" maybe a kind of
"systemctl enable docker.service" is missing, no?

Regards.
