Please don't do that. /etc/default files should never have been mis-used
for enabling/disabling services -- there already is update-rc.d
enable/disable for that (or the more direct systemctl enable/disable
now).

There is no direct way to express this; but IMHO a sufficient
approximation is to start it if a zfs file system exists? That can be
done with an udev rule like

  ACTION!="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="zfs",
ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}+="zed.service"

Note that I don't know the precise value of ID_FS_TYPE for zpools, and
the precise name of the service you want to start.
