cachefilesd is one of the last packages on my system w/o a systemd service
file and systemd-sysv-generator complains loudly. The upstream package
does contain a .service file and the attached patch is my naïve attempt to
make use of it.
A dpkg-buildpackage run appears to complete and the resulting package does
include the .service file now, but I don't know the whole dh_ machinery
well enough to check if that's sufficient.
Please review.
Thank you,
Christian.
