I believe this is fixed in compat 12, where dh_installinit and dh_installsystemd are cleanly separated. In prior compat levels, they are intertwined in complicated ways that are not very easy to understand. So my recommendation is to test with compat 12; if that works and you can bump to compat 12 (stable / oldstable-backports), use that. ~Niels
