Hello Luca, Thanks for looking into it and sorry for the delay. As mentioned in my report it is in the script "deb-systemd-helper" in the Debian package "init-system-helpers". Via git you can find the newest version under this link. https://salsa.debian.org/debian/init-system-helpers/-/blob/master/script/deb-systemd-helper
In line 614 it calls "all_links_installed", which calls in line 289 the function "get_link_closure". In "get_link_closure" it loops recursively over all systemd services referenced via "Wanted-By", "Required-by", "Also" and "Alias". I think the "Also" is not correct, because "Also" says, if you start this service start the also-service, too. But the also-service does not need to be active to mark a service as active. Hope this helps further. As I am a sysadmin I can read/debug code, but are not able to provide a stable solution. Quick and dirty I would ask "systemctl is-enabled" instead of checking the links. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/systemctl/systemctl-is-enabled.c Greetings ... Marco Am Fr., 8.
