The deployment is done by foreman, the package is installed by kickstart 
directly. When installed, it is enabled.

Yet, after the reboot of the machine, the service is stated by systemd 
but not working. Only after a manual restart can fix this.

However, when I just tried a reboot on a random host it was working... 
So - never mind and thanks ;)
