Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.28-1
Severity: normal
Dear Debian folks,
looking through `/etc/` I found
$ ls -l /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Mär 4 2012
/etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service ->
/lib/systemd/system/avahi-daemon.service
which should not be needed according to a discussion in #systemd on
freenode.net, since only user/admin changes should be stored in `/etc/`.
09:01 < PaulePanter> Hi. In Debian avahi-daemon ships $ ls -l
systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service
09:01 < PaulePanter> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Mär 4 2012
systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service ->
/lib/systemd/system/avahi-daemon.service
09:02 < PaulePanter> Is the symbolic link needed?
09:08 < MK_FG> PaulePanter, Where is the link installed to?
09:12 < PaulePanter> Oh sorry.
09:12 < PaulePanter>
/etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service
09:13 < PaulePanter> MK_FG: ^^
09:18 < MK_FG> PaulePanter, It might be useful if systemd is in /usr
09:19 < MK_FG> PaulePanter, But installing it to /etc looks like a bad
idea anyway, since /etc/systemd/system is not for package-provided
units, should probably be /usr/lib/systemd/system
09:20 < MK_FG> If systemd is in /, then that symlink shouldn't be useful
09:20 < PaulePanter> Here is the file list
<http://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/systemd/filelist>. So systemd is
installed under /bin/.
09:21 < MK_FG> Oh, I've missed the fact that it's
"dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service" symlink (different name)
09:22 < MK_FG> So it's useful for starting from dbus, but I think it
should be installed to /lib/systemd/system in general, /etc is for
user/admin, not packages
09:23 < PaulePanter> MK_FG: Thanks!
09:23 < PaulePanter> MK_FG: Can I copy your text into the bug report?
09:23 < MK_FG> Sure
09:24 < PaulePanter> Great. Thanks!
09:24 < MK_FG> Though I might be wrong there, feel free to come back
and point that out if I am ;)
Though I do not have systemd installed and also could not find a
recommendation about the location grepping through the git clone.
Thanks,
Paul

Yes it does. Thank you very much and I am sorry for the noise.
