Bug description:
  SRU TEST CASE:
  --------------
  Trying to enable a SysV init service which does not have a corresponding systemd unit results in an error:

  # systemctl enable pulseaudio
  Synchronizing state for pulseaudio.service with sysvinit using update-rc.d...
  Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d pulseaudio defaults
  Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d pulseaudio enable
  Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory

  /etc/init.d/pulseaudio actually does get enabled (check
  /etc/rc*/*pulse*), but the command fails with code 1 and you get that
  error message. With the fix the command succeeds.

  SRU Regression potential
  ------------------------
  Low, the modes for "sysv script + systemd unit" as well as "systemd unit only" already have automatic tests, and now this scenario ("sysv script only") has a test too. In the worst case this has the potential of completely breaking systemctl enable/disable, which can be worked around with changing symlinks manually, and isn't breaking the boot.
