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

[Michael Biebl]

Again, I don't understand why you try to fiddle with debian/rules and 
variables in .install files (don't do that)

You install systemd-dev (including systemd.pc), the build system picks 
up the paths from systemd.pc via pkgconf and installs the files into the 
correct paths. All you need to do in .install is reference the now 
correct paths.

That said, I naively assumed, that the build system in mumble works 
properly. Apparently it doesn't and the pkgconf integration in version 
1.5.517 is broken.
Seems you would need https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/pull/6100 , 
specifically commits like 
https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/pull/6100/commits/fb3f115692db84f5f427755d9cf02cc14e9262fa
Or you upgrade to a newer upstream version.
