Package: debhelper
Severity: wishlist
Version: 13.3.4

Dear Maintainers,

Systemd upstream added README files in .d directories including in tmpfiles.d:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/d83e90c73cf25a839f5e60f355baa0d38364ff41

If /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/README is shipped in the systemd package it
triggers errors to be shown upon installation because in postinst the
README is processed like it was a config file:
systemd.postinst:
...
if [ -d /run/systemd/system ] ; then
                systemd-tmpfiles --create README debian.conf home.conf
journal-nocow.conf legacy.conf systemd-nologin.conf
systemd-pstore.conf systemd-tmp.conf systemd.conf tmp.conf var.conf
x11.conf >/dev/null || true
...

For now the plan is not shipping the README, but it would be nice to
not have this issue in debhelper.

Cheers,
Balint
