If the debian package is similar to the Ubuntu one, it cannot work without some 
bits of configuration. The required steps are something like (Ubuntu 16.04, so 
they should be valid on Debian 8/9):

- Enable the service at boot time

- Fix the log directory permissions

# chown -R ovirtagent:ovirtagent /var/log/ovirt-guest-agent/

- Add some udev rules: I used /etc/udev/rules.d/55-ovirt-guest-agent.rules as 
in CentOS, with the same content:

SYMLINK=="virtio-ports/com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm", OWNER="ovirtagent", 
GROUP="ovirtagent"
SYMLINK=="virtio-ports/ovirt-guest-agent.0", OWNER="ovirtagent", 
GROUP="ovirtagent"

- Modify the agent config file /etc/ovirt-guest-agent.conf

[virtio]
device = /dev/virtio-ports/ovirt-guest-agent.0

Best
