Isn't the difference that IF the service doesn't exist then it won't fail,
whereas the standard service enable definition will need to service to
exist? Unless I'm missing something in the bigger picture, this is an area,
only doing stuff if the files are there to have stuff done upon them, where
puppet seems to fall short.
