Packaging issue: .service files are no conffiles (due to /lib) while init scripts are conffiles and hence remain longer on the system upon package removal without purging

I assume you mean dh-systemd (the package) as there is no such
command.

Thanks for that hint.

There's though no mentioning of masking in the dh_systemd_start(1) and
dh_systemd_enable(1) man pages, there is no systemd2init man page, and
/usr/share/doc/dh-systemd/ contains no further documentation either.

After reading the source of
/usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Sequence/systemd.pm, I assume that

  dh $@ --with=systemd

suffices.

Will try that.
