Package: zookeeperd Version: 3.4.13-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Please consider adding a native systemd service masking the shipped init script (fixes lintian tag[1] in subject). I'm attaching a completely untested attempt at writing a service file to be shipped in the zookeeperd package (e.g. by placing it in debian/zookeeperd.zookeeper.service should make debhelper DTRT). Please feel free to ask for additional help, as I'm happy to help if you provide testing and review (as I don't personally use zookeeper). For extra bonus points please look into security hardening[2] the service by restricting what it can access from the system. Regards, Andreas Henriksson PS. You might want to create a /usr/sbin/zookeeper-server symlink and use that in the service file instead (similar to the other symlinks you create). And IMHO the /usr/share/zookeeper/bin/* files would feel more naturally placed in /usr/libexec/zookeeper/*.
