Dear Tim,
I followed your advise to restucture my stuff exactly like you suggested. Putting all files in a structure below source, Makefile, PACKAGE.install ... everything. And now it works! I get init.d and systemd _enabled_ start scripts. Installing this way I get an error at the target: $ sudo dpkg -i Kletschke_deb/loqitmon_1.0-1_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 261966 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack .../loqitmon_1.0-1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking loqitmon (1.0-1) over (1.0-1) ... Setting up loqitmon (1.0-1) ... invoke-rc.d: syntax error: unknown option "--skip-systemd-native" dpkg: error processing package loqitmon (--install): installed loqitmon package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Processing triggers for ureadahead (0.100.0-20) ... Processing triggers for systemd (237-3ubuntu10.9) ... Errors were encountered while processing: loqitmon This is - I suppose - done because the usage of init.d and systemd was detected and a mechanism was built in to not do native systemd. May be due to comapt level settings the target system has not this commandline option available (yet). I then the omitted the init.d script entirely and I get this on the target: $ sudo dpkg -i Kletschke_deb/loqitmon_1.0-1_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 261968 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack .../loqitmon_1.0-1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking loqitmon (1.0-1) over (1.0-1) ... Setting up loqitmon (1.0-1) ... Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/loqitmon.service → /lib/systemd/system/loqitmon.service. Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/loqitmon.service → /lib/systemd/system/loqitmon.service. e voila, it works fine! Many thanks for your suggestion!
