If I just remove "dh-systemd" from build-depends, I get https://lintian.debian.org/tags/missing-build-dependency-for-dh-addon.html E: my-pkg source: missing-build-dependency-for-dh-addon systemd => dh-systemd So I suppose that particular check just needs to check for a reasonable version of debhelper to satisfy "systemd" in particular? :) > As for backports to jessie: If that is of concern to you, just keep > using dh-systemd for now.

Yeah, that's totally fair, thanks. :) ♥, - Tianon 4096R / B42F 6819 007F 00F8 8E36 4FD4 036A 9C25 BF35 7DD4
