[Bug 819044] [NEW] puppet in natty can't enable services

[James Troup]

Public bug reported:

puppet in natty can't enable services because of the following change:

This change comes from Debian where it also caused problems,
c.f. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573551

Regardless, using 'enable' simply doesn't work on Ubuntu Natty but
'defaults' does:

Can we please drop the last hunk as an SRU for Natty?  Not being able
to enable services is pretty fundamental to configuration management.
