Most people don't use vmtouch as a service, instead as an interactive
command-line tool. If you use the daemon functionality in the deb, can
you please send a pull request to our github repo?

Thanks!

Hey guys,
this is a very embarrassing bug, did nobody actually test the service
before merging this into stable repository?
__________
root@VM-Buster:~# grep '^DAEMON=' /etc/init.d/vmtouch
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/vmtouch
root@VM-Buster:~# which -a vmtouch
/usr/bin/vmtouch
/bin/vmtouch
__________
This is especially nasty since the service does not report any error
in such case, so users will probably not even recognise that it failed:

Since one can choose the run user via /etc/default/vmtouch, moving the
binary to sbin seems to be the worse alternative solution.
