Title:
  "systemctl enable mdmonitor" fails

Status in mdadm package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  mdadm package appears to not be complete.

  trying to enable mdmonitor to launch automatically for systemd, but it fails with this warning:
   

  
  # systemctl enable mdmonitor
  The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
  settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
  This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
  Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
  1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
     .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
  2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
     a requirement dependency on it.
  3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
     D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
  4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
     instance name specified.


  I am able to start mdmonitor.

  # systemctl status  mdmonitor
