Severity "serious" is probably better while systemd is not the default
init system.
As long as this bug is spotted by apt-listbugs (with default
configuration), I'm happy with it.

Actually I didn't have to change anything at all in the service file
after I've done something close to what was suggested by Antoine Beaupré
in message #42:

usermod debian-transmission -d /var/lib/transmission-daemon

mkdir -p /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon

mv /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/*
/var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon

rmdir info

ln -s /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon
/var/lib/transmission-daemon/info

chown -R debian-transmission:debian-transmission
/var/lib/transmission-daemon /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config

And here we are ;)

Thank you for your interest in this bug,

Now that transmission-daemon is successfully running, I'm experimenting
a new segfault when trying to open a local .torrent file through
transmission-qt.
I'm not sure it is linked at all to the current bug, I'm going to
investigate further before reporting more about it here or opening a new
bug report against transmission-qt.

More info: it is probably not related to this bug, the segfault occurs
even when running a local session (not connected to the running
transmission-daemon).
