Aha. I believe that is fixed in compat 11 (still WIP though). In compat 11, dh_installinit will ignore systemd files and accordingly not assume it should do something. > > I don't know the best place to document this idea of telling debhelper to > not bother with the init script if it doesn't exist. > I have added a remark in the dh_installinit manpage about it might make sense to skip dh_installinit for packages in compat 10 and earlier, when they only skip systemd services and no sysvinit scripts. The actual text being (review welcome): """ In compat 10 or earlier: If a package only ships a systemd service file and no sysvinit script is provided, you may want to exclude the call to dh_installinit for that package (e.g. via B<-N>). Otherwise, you may get warnings from lintian about init.d scripts not being included in the package.
