Hi,
we want to finalize the /usr-merge via DEP17 by moving all files to
/usr. logrotate is affected as it is installed by debootstrap and ships
systemd units below /lib. These are not automatically moved by
debhelper, because their location is hard coded in debian/*.install.
Consider installing them using dh_installsystemd in a way that
automatically supports backporting. The patch is not expressible via
debdiff due to the use of symlinks, so here is a shell script to be run
from an unpacked source package:
sed -i -e '/lib\/systemd\/system/d' debian/logrotate.install
ln -s ../examples/logrotate.service debian/logrotate.service
ln -s ../examples/logrotate.timer debian/logrotate.timer
I do not expect any issues arising from this as many other packages are
doing the same change in binNMUs or sourceful uploads with no relevant
changes already.
