Do not invoke dh_prep here. The manpage warning refers to invocations using the same arguments. In your case they are not the same arguments, so you should not call dh_prep. The warning just implies that running the override_dh_systemd_enable[1] target multiple times will result in maintainer scripts that repeat themselves. [1] or equivalent for other sequencers. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler _______________________________________________ Pkg-systemd-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-systemd-maintainers
