Bug#887900: dh_installsystemd does not properly handle aliased services

[Michael Biebl]

Package: debhelper
Version: 11.1.3
Severity: normal

I use the following in network-manager:

override_dh_systemd_start:
       dh_link -pnetwork-manager \
              lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service \
              lib/systemd/system/network-manager.service
       dh_systemd_start -pnetwork-manager --no-also NetworkManager.service

The background is, that traditionally, the Debian SysV init script is
called /etc/init.d/network-manager and the upstream systemd service is
named NetworkManager.service

I thus created the symlink which told dh_systemd_start to not generate
start code for NetworkManager.service (using deb-systemd-invoke) but
leave this up to invoke-rc.d network-manager

It seems this no longer works with dh_installsystemd.
