Lintian tag: systemd-service-file-missing-install-key

Type: information

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The systemd service file does not contain a WantedBy= or RequiredBy= key
in its [Install] section.

Forgetting to add such a line (e.g. WantedBy=multi-user.target) results in
the service file not being started by default.

Please refer to the systemd.unit(5) manual page for details.
