Package: isc-dhcp-server
Version: 4.4.3-P1-8
Followup-For: Bug #1039244

This issue still exists and breaks the package permanently in forky.

No clue why the systemd file hasn't been included, as the
one from ubuntu isc-dhcp-server (4.4.1-2.3ubuntu2.4) works
perfectly when you create the dhcpd user and group.

The Debian wiki (https://wiki.debian.org/DHCP_Server) reports
isc-dhcp-server as the package to use to setup a dhcp server,
so I would have expected this to have been fixed by now before
things break.

Work around:
* take /lib/systemd/system/isc-dhcp-server.service from
  ubuntu package isc-dhcp-server (4.4.1-2.3ubuntu2.4)
* create system user dhcpd with own group
* systemd daemon-reload
* enable and start isc-dhcp-server

Either fix the package (ubuntu solution under a separate user is
even better) or offer an alternative dhcpd and update the wiki.
