** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
   * On Trusty, SSSD does not start when AutoFS is not installed because the 
AutoFS "starting" signal is not emitted.
   * This only affects the upstart service (Trusty). Systemd services work fine.
  
  [Test Case]
  
   * Install SSSD in a machine without AutoFS and reboot.
   * The service won't start on boot, even though it can be started manually.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
   * None expected, but if one is found it will only impact the startup of
  SSSD at boot
  
  [Original Description]
+ 
+ * The Xenial regression has been first reported via LP: #1700084 and
+ then we marked it a duplicate and decided to continue the SRU via this
+ bug (being the original one) for the SRU to be less confusing.
  
  The fix for LP# 1566508 (in Ubuntu 14.04 at least) introduces a
  regression that prevents sssd from starting if the autofs package is not
  installed.
  
  The /etc/init/sssd.conf script now has:
  
  ```
  start on (filesystem and net-device-up and starting autofs)
  ```
  
  The "starting autofs" will never happen if autofs is not installed.
  
  That's critical in that that prevents authentication after the next boot
  after "sssd" has been upgraded.
  
  The work around for now is to remove that "and starting autofs" or
  install the autofs package.
  
  ```
