Wouldn't this effectively be the package climbing on the sysadmin's
feet? As I understand it, vendor configuration (and in this context,
debian is vendor, right?) goes into /usr/lib/systemd whereas the local
sysadmin rules over /etc/systemd?
Anyway, it turns out that the systemd files are really not updated. The
configuration lives in lirc_options.conf, some other /etc/lirc/*.conf
files + the very fact that certain systemd units are enabled/started or
not. And starting fresh systemd services behind the back of local
sysadmin - is this a nice thing to do?
Cheers!
