Lintian tag: maintainer-script-calls-systemctl

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The maintainer script calls systemctl directly. Actions such as enabling a
unit file should be done using deb-systemd-helper so that they work on
machines with or without systemd. Starting a service should be done via
invoke-rc.d if the service has a corresponding sysvinit script or
deb-systemd-invoke if it does not.

If you are using debhelper, please use the systemd debhelper addon, which
is provided by debhelper (>= 9.20160709~).

Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/pkg-systemd/Packaging for
details.
