Error disabling systemd

First, I think the documentation has a bug: meta-mender/meta-mender-core/recipes-mender doesn’t contain a mender directory (nor mender_%.bb), so shouldn’t my layer contain recipes-mender/mender-client/mender-client_%.bbappend instead?

With this change, I did a bitbake -e mender-client and see this:

# $SYSTEMD_AUTO_ENABLE [4 operations]

#   set /yocto-src/sources/poky/meta/conf/documentation.conf:403

#     [doc] "For recipes that inherit the systemd class, this variable specifies whether the service you have specified in SYSTEMD_SERVICE should be started automatically or not."

#   set? /yocto-src/sources/meta-mender/meta-mender-core/recipes-mender/mender-client/mender-client.inc:17

#     "enable"

#   set /yocto-src/sources/poky/meta/classes/systemd.bbclass:9

#     [_defaultval] "enable"

#   set /yocto-dev/layers/meta-orro/recipes-mender/mender-client/mender-client_%.bbappend:1

#     "disable"

# pre-expansion value:

#   "disable"

SYSTEMD_AUTO_ENABLE="disable"

#

but at runtime, you can see that it’s the right build (built a few minutes ago) but mender still daemonized:
