I'd like to add here, that if dh_systemd_{start,enable} are called
directly (say you use plain debhelper, they will error out in compat
mode 11 and above,

The problem is that the dh sequencer no longer calls
dh_systemd_{start,enable}, so it's the usage of
override_dh_systemd_{start,enable} which should be checked for.
