Systemd service is disabled, yet it still starts on reboot. Improper unit file?

Seems there's some direct dependencies with the correlating agents. If you run the following command:

systemctl list-unit-files --type=service | grep datadog

You should see all of the correlating agents and their startup state. All Datadog agents will need to be disabled using systemctl to get the desired disabled state of the single datadog-agent.

It'd be great if you could simply disable datadog-agent and have it disable the rest.

If you disable datadog-agent I would expect it to disable all the datadog-agent services. On CentOS systems this seems to be the default behavior, but not on Ubuntu. This is still an issue.
