Hi Stephen,
Thanks. that is a good step. It would be nice to remove the build time
dependency too.
On Fedora we can do something like the following.
make UNITDIR=%{_unitdir} TMPFILESDIR=%{_tmpfilesdir} INITSYSTEM=systemd base
if there is Debian equivalent, to get UNITDIR, in "rules" we can drop build
time dependency to systemd.
upstream export UNITDIR since
