Public bug reported:

Version: 1.10.6-2ubuntu1
Ubuntu release: 18.04

I've just had a fun few minutes wondering why I couldn't disable NM
using "systemctl disable network-manager.service". Looks like the real
unit file is NetworkManager.service, and the former is a symlink.

Per systemd.unit(5), "unit files may specify aliases through the Alias=
directive in the [Install] section" which allows the aliases to be used
in systemctl disable etc. - so this might be a cleaner approach and
would presumably solve the problem of lusers like me guessing unit names
..
