I do not think this severity is warranted, this is because of, the following as
from /etc/default/arpwatch

# when using systemd you have to enable arpwatch explicitly for each interface
# you want to run it on by running:
# systemctl enable arpwatch@IFACE
# systemctl start arpwatch@IFACE

that is for every interface which is to be monitored, instantiate a respective
service. This is similar when not using systemd, to list the interfaces to
monitor in the INTERFACES variable, where then /etc/default/arpwatch is sourced
by the sysvinit service.

Does this help?
