Bug Description
[Impact]
* The watchdog service in Xenial does not start automatically even after
being configured. This makes the service not function reliably.
This affects the 5.14 release in Xenial only and is already fixed in
5.15 included in the developement release.
[Test Case]
* On a Xenial 16.04 system
- lxc launch ubuntu-daily:xenial x1
- lxc exec x1 /bin/bash
# inside the container x1
- apt-get update && apt-get install watchdog
# display status after installing (returns inactive)
- systemctl is-active watchdog
# reboot (this exits the container)
- reboot
- lxc exec x1 /bin/bash
# inside the container x1, check the status of the service
- systemctl is-active watchdog (returns active)
# With current version of watchdog (5.14-3ubuntu0.
# the service does not start automatically;
# With the updated version (5.14-3ubuntu0.
# the service will be started automatically after a reboot
[Regression Potential]
* Users of watchdog service which previously did not start automatically
may encounter watchdog triggering actions at unexpected times.

Expected:
Watchdog daemon starts on system boot.
Current:
After updating from Utopic to Vivid the watchdog daemon doesn't start. A manual service watchdog start after boot up starts the daemon normally.
There seems to be a problem with the transition of the init scripts from Upstart to SystemD.
