I notice that the man page takes great pains to distinguish
enable/disable and start/stop (activate/deactivate). This makes sense --
the current commands separate into "chkconfig on/off" and "service
start/stop".

So why are the concepts being blurred here? There's already a systemctl
start/stop/... (as mentioned in the systemd-install description).

Maybe what you want is an --if-enabled option to systemctl
start/restart/...?
