Ah right, I've confused this with another package I was reviewing at the
same time, where the .service file came from the debian/ dir.  My bad.

On the other hand, I see that your "ddupdate" is a clean reimplementation
with no relation to the ddupdate I had been using over a decade ago, thus
this is not a regression either.

A "must" requirement of the policy:

§9.11:
# [...] any package integrating with other init systems
# must also be backwards-compatible with sysvinit by providing a SysV-
# style init script with the same name as and equivalent functionality
# to any init-specific job, as this is the only start-up configuration
# method guaranteed to be supported by all init implementations.


Meow!
