Of course, you're both right. Therefore, we should require that

"unstable". We release "stable" so people have a known set that works

Hmmm... If things were installed by hand ("dpkg --install dpkglib...")

ometimes patches are required. Try ssh'ing to

setup the file permissions correctly. Both on sysvinit and systemd, but
seems we can get away with this more with systemd. Probably because of
the extra checks in the initd script that systemd version doesn't have.
But I can't move the #DEBHELPER# to the bottom, because then the setting
