Package: debhelper Version: 13.8 Severity: normal Niels,
Currently, debhelper generates systemd | systemd-tmpfiles as the misc:Depends when a tmpfiles implementation is required. However, that is causing significant problems for a number of users of non-systemd systems and in containers when APT chooses the first option[1][2]. It has been suggested that changing the dependency to systemd-standalone-tmpfiles | systemd-tmpfiles would help the packaging system usually find the correct solution and reduce the number of unexpected surprises users are reporting. With this change, on a systemd installation the dependency would already be satisfied and therefore noop for APT. For installations without systemd, be that systems using other inits or in containers, APT would choose the standalone implementation.
