Many services do not show as enabled in Firewall after install

Created by: SunilMohanAdapa

To reproduce:

  • Start fresh installation of FreedomBox.
  • Install a service such as Privoxy by clicking on the menu item in Plinth.
  • See that the service is automatically enabled
  • Go to firewall and see that the service shows as disabled.

This is because on_install handlers for many services are not notifying the with service events like they do during enable/disable.

Services affected:

  • XMPP
  • Transmission
  • Ikiwiki
  • Privoxy
