I haven't tested that, but my first attempt would be to add --no-start to the invocation of dh_installsystemd in your rules file (you may need to add an override_dh_installsystemd target to do that), and then your postinst script would look something like that: #DEBHELPER# setup file permissions deb-systemd-invoke start unit1 unit2... Hope that helps!
