cat > debian/$FOO.install <<EOF #!/usr/bin/dh-exec some/file /usr/bin some/other/file /usr/lib/somewhere [linux-any] some/systemd/foo.service /lib/systemd/system EOF chmod +x debian/$FOO.install The file some/systemd/foo.service will only be installed on Linux platforms. That said, if you're using dh-systemd, that shouldn't be necessary. dh-systemd is a noop on kfreebsd-* and hurd-i386. Also, I just checked and noticed that I am installing the systemd service in my packages also on FreeBSD/Hurd so far, and it doesn't FTBFS. I should probably drop it there (because it's useless), but other than a tiny amount of disk space it doesn't hurt either. (Obviously an init script is also present, but not exclusively for non-Linux ports.) If your package FTBFS, there is probably something else going on on non-Linux platforms. What is the exact error you're experiencing? Regards, Christian
