systemd provider does not understand "indirect" status / tries to turn off service on each run

Following occurs with each puppet run, which causes annoyance:
Service[rpcbind]/enable: enable changed 'true' to 'false'

The rpcbind service returns "indirect" as a status to is-enabled
_*/bin/systemctl is-enabled rpcbind
indirect*_

This presumably causes puppet to constantly think it's not turned off (standard output should be enabled/disabled

Additional info from systemctl
_*/bin/systemctl status rpcbind.service
â rpcbind.service - RPC bind service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/rpcbind.service; indirect; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)*
_

Note that a workaround is to set enable to "true" and ensure to "stopped" to keep it stopped, BUT that requires the hosts to have rpcbind installed - if it is not then it produces an error in the puppet run.
