Hi, As noted in [1], compat 12 is not /generally/ suitable for stretch-backports and I recommend staying with compat 11 if you target stretch-backports. The issue lies in what was required to cleanly separate dh_installinit and dh_installsystemd which previously had overlapping responsibilities in the maintscripts. That split requires the new version of init-system-helpers. The alternative is to use compat 12 in general but force dh_installinit + dh_installsystemd (yes, both of them) to run in compat 11 by using DH_COMPAT=11 in the override. Thanks, ~Niels [1] https://salsa.debian.org/lamby/pkg-redis/commit/e47bfc26194735b4853a6f17e29ce20b50483696
