Package: ipmitool Version: 1.8.14-4 Hi maintainer,
When I install the ipmitool package on Jessie (either 1.8.14-4 from stable, or a local backport of 1.8.17-1 to Jessie), the ipmievd.service systemd unit starts up, even though the packaging implies the intention is that it should not start up unless explicitly enabled. I think what's happening is that the package writes out an /etc/default/ipmievd that's supposed to disable the initscript, but on a machine where init is systemd, `invoke-rc.d ipmievd start` runs the systemd unit, which doesn't look at /etc/default/ipmievd.
Since the systemd unit is not explicitly enabled, after a reboot, ipmievd isn't running. So this looks like unintentional behavior.
I'm not sure what the right fix for this is. `dh_installinit --no-start` definitely solves the problem on systems where systemd is init, but maybe you want to restart ipmievd for systems that have it enabled and are using sysvinit as init.
