I've now done an in-depth check over all changes dh12 brings:

1) change in systemd.unit handling in pre/post-inst/rm scripts
2) New Pre-Depends: init-system-helpers (>= 1.54~), needed for change 1)
3) change in debug symbol handling, now compression via dh_dwz
4) change in example compression
5) change in shlibs, now adding (>= 9.4.1) to each line

All changes don't affect anything major, the lintian warning resulting
from 4) has been handled.

Change 3) reduces the size of the dbgsym packages in the archive and
installed on a system drastically.

Change 5) is no-op for us, because we don't provide any public symbols
in our libraries.

Change 1) and 2) just disentangle the systemd.unit handling from the
invoke-rc.d code which doesn't change anything functionally for us.

IMO this can be merged. I guess dh12 will be backported as well, but
even if not, we just need to switch back to compat=11 for
stretch-backports, no other changes are needed.

Grüße,
Sven.
