I can confirm this bug on Zesty.

As far as I understand the situation, the following is the case.

The package leases the service in a un-configured state. There is no /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf and /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/ does not exist.
This is why the service doesn't start. The service is started by automatic dh_helpers code, and that is why the package doesn't install.

389-admin.postinst 
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Automatically added by dh_systemd_enable
if deb-systemd-helper debian-installed dirsrv-admin.service; then
        # This will only remove masks created by d-s-h on package removal.
        deb-systemd-helper unmask dirsrv-admin.service >/dev/null || true

        if deb-systemd-helper --quiet was-enabled dirsrv-admin.service; then
                # Create new symlinks, if any.
                deb-systemd-helper enable dirsrv-admin.service >/dev/null || true
        fi
fi


Removing that automated code is one way. Let the user enable the service once he has been set it up correctly. setup-ds-admin is as far as I know the command to use for creating this config.


However, that is not expected behaviour in debian. The 'correct' fix would be to pre-configure the service in a way that allows it to start sucesfully. I don't know this software enough to make a judgment if that is feasible.
