Hi Niels,
I upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04 and now have debhelper 13.14.1ubuntu1.
Once executed the debuild nothing was generated.
When executed the dh_installsystemduser manually also nothing was generated.
>From it's sources I found that it looks for some dependency and I added to
the /debian/control:
Depends: ${misc:Depends}
Now this helped and two install/uninstall scripts were generated
/debian/sshtunnel.postinst.debhelper
/debian/sshtunnel.postrm.debhelper
I manually included the scripts to /debian/postinst and /debian/postrm and
built the deb.
It was installed successfully but didn't start the service.
I started manually. During uninstall it has not been stopped. There is no
prerm script that will do that.
So the issues are:
1. The debhelper did not execute the dh_installsystemduser. I guess I must
add it manually to /debian/rules
2. The generated scripts do not start the service after installation.
3. Missing prerm script to stop the service.
4. Surprising need for for ${misc:Depends}
So far I will anyway continue to use the manual scripts because I wish to
support old distros.
Anyway I wanted to have good and proper "official" scripts to install the
user service.
You can play with my simple package here:

It can be a good sample and test ground.
Best regards and thank you for your work,
Sergey
