Can confirm this problem currently exists:
Attempts to install the transmission-daemon package fail in
environments which utilize systemd. This seems to be because the
packge does not provide a valid systemd .service file. Upon attempting
to install the package, I get the following.
Setting up transmission-daemon (2.82-1.1+b1) ...
Job for transmission-daemon.service failed. See 'systemctl status
transmission-daemon.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript transmission-daemon, action "start" failed.
