Package: mosquitto
Version: 2.0.22-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I don't fully understand the purpose of /usr/lib/systemd/user/mosquitto.service.
But an unwanted side effect is that SDDM is now lauching such database server.
The bug was found by the cruft-ng tool.
PS: I'm an happy mosquitto user on 1300 physicial Debian servers <3 :-)
Greetings
Alexandre
