I don't think this is the problem. I think the problem is that the service is enabled by default. There's no harm in having everything in one package provided that the service defaults to *disabled*, not enabled. My recollection is that this is even what the puppet-agent package did, although maybe I'm misremembering. But it looks like the default installation logic may have been lost with the merge into a single puppet package. For systemd, I think the fix may be as easy as using --no-enable in a dh_systemd_enable override. I'm not sure how this used to be done for dh_installinit. (Completely agreed that having the daemon start and try to use the server named "puppet" as a Puppet master on package installation is pretty bad.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
