Hi, If you are (working on/with) upstream and doing the packaging, I believe making the upstream build system install the systemd file correctly is preferred. The primary motivation being that the service file is then also installed when: * packaging is done for another non-Debian-based distribution (possibly done by volunteers outside your organization). * an end users wants to compile from source (on a non-Debian-based system). (The argument here is not limited to systemd service files as debhelper have other tools with similar functionality) Thanks, ~Niels
