Dear debian-user Folks, i am trying to build a binary debian package consisting of a python script, shell scripts and a config file as daemon with either init.d or systemd start.
The init.d script gets installed also the systemd file, but both are not enabled. I made a directory loqitmon-1.0 and in there are python script, shellscripts and config file.

The files /etc/init.d/loqitmon /lib/systemd/system/loqitmon.service are in the package, but they are are not enabled. I have the strange feeling the entire postinstall stuff is missing. Is there a significant typo somewhere so obvious I am to stupid to see? If there is a distribution like Mint Tessa for example, how does the system decide which startmethod to choose, if init.d and systemd are enabled successfully? I see a mix of init.d and systemd there regading starting stuff.
