I am a bit worried about the postinst scripts, in particular this part:
# Automatically added by dh_systemd_start
if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then
systemctl --system daemon-reload >/dev/null || true
deb-systemd-invoke start local-apt-repository.path >/dev/null || true
fi
# End automatically added section
Will this not break if systemd is not installed, but
/run/systemd/system is still around? But then it might be argued that
this would be a bug in dh_systemd_start.
If you are interested in supporting non-systemd-systems, would you mind
trying the change you want to see, test it, and send me a patch (or
even better: just change it in the git repo, which is in collab-maint)?

I’d prefer not adding complexity that is not required on default Debian
systems; I will however accept a patch (as required per #746715).
Greetings,
