Bug#1068504: mumble-server: wrong path for systemd-sysusers file

[Chris Knadle]

Hello Chris, Michael, Stefan.

I don't understand how to do what has been requested. I've tried a 
number of variations of including systemd-dev as a dependency and using 
variables to reference the system sysusers directory, and this is not 
working out for me. I've spent more time on this than I'm comfortable with.

So far here's the results from multiple builds:

dh_install: error: Cannot resolve variable "${SYSUSERS_DIR}" in 
debian/mumble-server.install (line 6)                                >
make: *** [debian/rules:28: binary] Error 25 >
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit 
status 2

dh_install: error: Cannot resolve variable "${sysusers_dir}" in 
debian/mumble-server.install (line 6)
make: *** [debian/rules:28: binary] Error 25

Trying to source in /usr/share/pkgconfig/systemd.pc within debian/rules:
Debian/rules:28: *** missing separator.  Stop.
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules clean subprocess returned exit 
status 2

Note: the place the variable needs to be referenced is in 
debian/mumble-server.install which is for dh_install to use and I 
believe does not accept arbitrary shell code.
