Indeed. It starts after installation and after upgrade (which I
tested), but no more after reboot.

Seeing this, too, but only after reboot.

Well, if so, at least without "sudo"…

Nope. It indirectly should be already already there as update-rc.d is
AFAIK mandatory for all init systems:
$ fgrep -n update-rc.d /var/lib/dpkg/info/gpm.postinst
88:update-rc.d gpm defaults >/dev/null
But then again, what seems missing from gpm.postinst is the
#DEBHELPER# marker which includes debhelper generated snippets which
usually include some further systemd-specific magic.
Will test a new version of the package on a Raspberry Pi (runing
Debian Sid of course, not Raspbian) which I can quickly and easily
reboot without issues.
Regards, Axel
