This conflicts with what was reported in #850889 [0].

I think both arguments are valid:

1) any suricata deployment is likely to require manual configuration
before proper service. Auto-start makes no sense.
2) yes, we are debian, we like things running out of the box

So, I'm unsure what path to follow.

In any case, a fix is not landing in stretch at this point. We should
wait for the stretch stable release.

Comments/discussion welcome.
