Bug#907845: Warn if compat level 11 is used and dh_system_* helpers are used

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.99
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

in compat level 11, dh_systemd_start and dh_systemd_enable have been
deprecated in favour of dh_installsystemd.
dh will also no longer run the dh_systemd_{start,enable} helpers during
build.
I've seen a couple of packages which have updated their compat level to
11 but still use a dh_systemd_{start,enable} override.
It would be nice if lintian could detect (grep for usage of
override_dh_systemd_{start,enable} in debian/rules) and warn accordingly.

Regards,
Michael
