Bug#958628: postgresql-common: Declares alternative Build-Depends on deprecated dh-systemd which is going away

your package postgresql-common declares an alternative build dependency on 
dh-systemd.
dh-systemd was merged into debhelper in version 9.20160709 [1] and since
stretch, dh-systemd is an empty transitional package.

For bullseye we intend to drop this empty transitional package.

Please consider dropping the "| dh-systemd" alternative Build-Depends in one of
your next uploads. It is no longer required (not even for backports) and is
only confusing.


I believe it is still required for backports to Ubuntu xenial, but
luckily that is going away soon.


xenial-backports provides a recent enough debhelper [1]. And since this 
is only a build dependency, I think it's fine to just pull debhelper 
from there.
