No?

See:

# dpkg -L minissdpd | grep "/etc/default/minissdpd"
/etc/default/minissdpd

# dpkg -l minissdpd

Interesting.

Also the /lib/systemd/system/minissdpd.service requires
/etc/default/minissdpd because this file is not marked as optional.

So the file must exist or the unit itself would fail.

Which it will when installed on a system where it has never been
installed before:

,----
| Feb 01 21:51:37 HOST systemd[1]: minissdpd.service: Failed to load 
environment files: No such file or directory
| Feb 01 21:51:37 HOST systemd[1]: minissdpd.service: Failed to run 'start' 
task: No such file or directory
| Feb 01 21:51:37 HOST systemd[1]: minissdpd.service: Failed with result 
'resources'.
| Feb 01 21:51:37 HOST systemd[1]: Failed to start keep memory of all UPnP 
devices that announced themselves.
`----

But if installed on a system where the older version was installed,
/etc/default/minissdpd still exists:

,----
| # MiniSSDPd default configuration
|
| # Set this to 1 if you want to start the daemon
| START_DAEMON=1
|
| # Set this to the IP of the interface you want the demon to run on
| MiniSSDPd_INTERFACE_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0
`----

Note the wrong "MiniSSDPd_INTERFACE_ADDRESS". Version
1.2.20130907-4.1 doesn't seem to mind the "0.0.0.0" here and starts
without problems.

Only after upgrading to 1.5.20161216-1 it barfs and fails.

There are really two errors at play here, depending on from where you
come:

a) 1.2.20130907-4.1 was upgraded to 1.5.20161216-1:
   Error because 0.0.0.0 is no longer correct.

b) 1.5.20161216-1 is the first version
   unit fails, because /etc/default/minissdpd does not exist.

Solution in all cases is: Create a correct /etc/default/minissdpd.

Grüße,
Sven.
