Package: debhelper
Version: 13.11.4
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]

It appears we currently ship 35 packages in unstable installing 78
service files to /usr/lib/systemd/system which dh_installsystemd doesn't
handle:

$ apt-file search -x ^/usr/lib/systemd/system | wc -l
78

$ apt-file search -x ^/usr/lib/systemd/system | cut -f1 -d':' | sort -u | wc -l
35

This means, those service files are not enabled and (re)started/stopped.

I suspect this is the result of the attempt last year, to move those
files to /usr where lintian warned for a while if files where installed
to /lib, so package maintainers started to update their packaging to
install in /usr instead.

I think dh_installsystemd should pick up files from
/usr/lib/systemd/system in list_installed_units() and then we could just
rebuild those packages.

The alternative is to update all those 35 packages and make sure they
install the files to /lib.

Any progress here? If this issue should be fixed for bookworm, time is
running short.

Cheers

I find that anytime I look at this bug my motivation to work on Debian instantly vanishes. In fact, I cannot even motivate myself to read the bug log to figure out what the consensus is. Accordingly, I will play the constitution 2.1.1 and step out of the way.
My attempt to raise this issue with debhelper and the release-team was to gather a consensus with how to deal with the affected packages. A change to debhelper seemed liked the most straightforward approach to me. It was not meant as an attempt to force Niels into something he feels uncomfortable with, which he obviously does.
I apologize to Niels for that and hereby close this bug report.

Michael
