It looks like this may be an issue with Elasticsearch 6.2. In 6.1 the elasticsearch-env file has:

if [ -f /etc/default/elasticsearch ]; then source /etc/default/elasticsearch; fi

But in 6.2 it is just:

source /etc/default/elasticsearch

The /etc/default/elasticsearch file doesn't exist because we remove it at use a custom named one instead.

I think this is now fixed in 6.2.2 by #431.

It is indeed. Thanks @andyshinn!
