Hi again maintainer, I've attached a patch that adds a systemd unit file in the hopes that it's helpful. It's working nicely on our ~100 systems running jessie.
I've also put a diff of the unscd package which also packages the newest upstream (#795618) and adds a manpage (#789871) in addition to adding the unit file here just in case that's helpful: https://gist.github.com/chriskuehl/028df2a1b6ee183d104d Obviously feel free to ignore my patches, just including in case they are helpful. Thanks!
