The following systemd service file works for me. It is important to set Type=forking and to specify the PIDFile location. Due to bug https://bugs.debian.org/772929 you have to symlink the executable and the data directory into the same working directory. Now only a system-wide pokerth user is missing which could be created in postinst.
