Indeed, debhelper can't know. I see the following options: 1. Change the autoscripts to use restart instead of try-restart. deb-systemd-invoke will still not start static/disabled units, but any not running unit would start. This is basically how the sysvinit/invoke-rc.d integration works. 2. Add an option to dh_systemd_start (and dh_installsystemd) to inject the extra snippet, a la dpkg-maintscript-helper 3. Keep the installed units in a statefile somewhere so that deb-systemd-invoke can do the right thing then told to try-restart a new unit. I think I prefer option 1, as it requires the least amount of work. Tracking the versions a unit was shipped in sounds like over engineering to me. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler
