Package: debhelper Version: 12.7.1 Severity: normal Hi,
I'm currently working on updating the debhelper compat level in systemd from 10 to 12: https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/commits/wip/compat-12 systemd ships several units files, which are currently enabled manually in the maintainers scripts. systemd also ships several tmpfiles, which are currenly enabled via dh_installinit. With compat level 12 and dh_installsystemd, tmpfiles are no longer handled by dh_installinit. Since I need to call dh_installsystemd several times (with different argument), the following code is currently added multiple times as well: if [ "$1" = "configure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-upgrade" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-deconfigure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-remove" ] ; then # In case this system is running systemd, we need to ensure that all # necessary tmpfiles (if any) are created before starting. if [ -d /run/systemd/system ] ; then systemd-tmpfiles --create debian.conf home.conf journal-nocow.conf legacy.conf systemd-nologin.conf systemd.conf tmp.conf var.conf x11.conf >/dev/null || true fi fi https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/commit/25bbc8de507f2f9317149eb1f152e899e77776a1 This is not really great. Somehow I think it would the cleanest solution if tmpfiles handling was split into a separate helper, say dh_installtmpfile which can be called individually from dh_installsystemd. Technically this would make sense, as a tmpfile is strictly speaking no unit file. We would leave handling of unit files solely to dh_installsystemd. Only issue would be, that we need to get the ordering right, but I think it would be sufficient if we always call dh_installtmpfile before dh_installsystemd (at least I can't think of a reason why we ever need to run it after dh_installsystemd). Comments most welcome. Maybe there is different solution to fix this directly in dh_installsystemd which I'm not seeing.
