Sorry, we are not  going to implement an upstart parser into systemd,
and there is not even an 1-to-1 correspondence between upstart jobs and
systemd units. So this can only ever be a heuristics, and "working in
some cases" is worse (because not predictable)  than "upstart overrides
don't affect systemd units".

The "right way" to disable something in an init system agnostic way is
"update-rc.d myservice disable". This will disable sysv init scripts,
upstart jobs, and systemd units. But it's not realistic to expect that
upstart and systemd can read each other's configuration files, sorry..

Title:
  Transition from upstart to systemd should  honor /etc/init/*.override

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  While upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04, I noticed that all of my
  previously disabled services got started again.

  I disabled them by putting "manual" in e.g. /etc/init/isc-dhcp-
  server.conf - which is the "right" way I think. Luckily, there was no
  harm in my case, but this can put many people in risk by e.g. letting
  starting server services which are then accessible outside or even
  disrupt networks (like dhcp-servers). So in my oppinion the transition
  to systemd should honor "manual" flags in .override files - or at
  least warn if there are .override files.
