[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#730546: avahi-daemon: Incorrect generated dependencies between systemd service and LSB initscripts

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.31-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

avahi-daemon package is shipping both an avahi-daemon.service and an LSB
initscript avahi-daemon. This will make systemd prefere the native
service.

The problem is that the LSB initscript is providing the "avahi" service.
This means that the other initscripts (that don't have a native systemd
service counterpart) will have a dependency against "avahi" that will be
translated to avahi.service which of course is not existing.

I see two solutions here. Either add Alias=avahi.service to the
avahi-daemon service file or add "avahi-daemon" to the list of Provides
of the LSB initscript and then make all other LSB initscript depend
against this new name.

I'm not sure which one is the prefered way.

Cheers

Laurent Bigonville
