Package: varnish
Version: 5.2.1-1
Severity: minor

Hi All,

The systemd service file of Varnish (both unstable and stretch) contains the following:

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/varnishd -j unix,user=vcache -F -a :6081 -T localhost:6082 -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl -S /etc/varnish/secret -s malloc,256m

The -F option is to not fork, and keep varnish in the foreground.

Is there a reason this is specified?
Type should be 'forking' (see https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html), and the -F should be dropped.

Can this be checked?

Thanks
Jean-Louis
