numad doesn't respect settings in /etc/default/numad

The systemd script for numad doesn't respect the settings in /etc/default/numad. The following changes make it work:

Hi geert,
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I agree to your finding and solution. But This bug is present in Debian too, and Ubuntu currently doesn't make any changes over the Debian package. So this bug would be best fixed directly in Debian, and then Ubuntu will pick up the fix automatically.

Would you mind filing a bug with Debian please and link it here so that we can pick it up once accepted?

Thank you so much Geert for driving this, and thanks Amr to update this to reflect the sync of 0.5+20150602-5 into the Zesty release.
