Bug Description

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.

This should be fixed as of Zesty based on the changelog in the Debian bug report, but remains an issue on Xenial.

Per former comments marking as fixed and adding Xenial task.
It is still an issue in Xenial, but since no one here was participating I wonder about the severity.

Also we would certainly not backport the fix that was taken.
I filtered it a bit and it looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TNvQpqbNRb/

So with that you still won't be able to get it through /etc/default/rsyncd.
All you'd find is a comment in there how to do it now.
Marking it low due to that
