Ah I see! thanks for the reference :) Since init-system-helpers is not marked as essential in jessie and is installed as a dependency during the piuparts test, it gets removed. > But we'd still need the functionality of dh-systemd in our backport. > I'll look through #822670 and #837585 for hints. Just keeping dh-systemd (without version, like I added in commit 518aa2b) in the build dependencies is enough I think. piuparts with --warn-on-leftovers-after-purge does not report other problems. Will this piuparts error block the package from getting into jessie-backports? Etienne
