Apologies for the delay. I must have missed the original CC.

If I understand the problem here correctly, the Salt state you're applying
fails to properly set the policyd_weight_enable="YES" in the rc.conf. It will
*start* the service, but can't figure out how to _enable_ the same service.

The problem is that the service name and the sysrc name don't match.

ie; 
sysrc policyd_weight_enable="YES"
service policyd-weight start

I just spent some time reproducing this. I have a fairly simple workaround:

mail/postfix-policyd-weight:
  pkg.installed

postfix-policyd-weight-service:
  service.running:
    - name: policyd-weight

postfix-policyd-weight-sysrc:
  sysrc.managed:
    - name: policyd_weight_enable
    - value: "YES"

The Salt service module doesn't appear to support defining a service.running
where the service name and the enable name don't match. In this case I suggest
simply managing the service with the service state and the sysrc changes with
the sysrc state.

If anything I think this is an upstream SaltStack bug that doesn't account for
this edge-case.
