Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I build opentracker for a Debian system locally a while ago for Buster,
and wanted to upgrade that since a while. I was happy to find that
opentracker is packaged in Debian now proper, but I found that the
shipped systemd services have no reload support.

I use that currently to make opentracker re-parse the whitelist file
when I add a new torrent to the tracker. This is done via sending a HUP
signal, as opentracker's `accesslist_worker` function waits on that [0].

[0]: 
https://salsa.debian.org/gagath/opentracker/-/blob/debian/latest/ot_accesslist.c#L131

My service files simply had a `ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID` line.

For now I simply add this via a systemd unit override snippet, but it
would be nice if the Debian package would gain support for this
directly.

cheers,
 Thomas
