I had a minimalistic rules file:

#!/usr/bin/make -f

%:
    dh $@

After sending out the initial email to d-mentors, I changed it to:

#!/usr/bin/make -f

%:
    dh $@ --with systemd

override_dh_installinit:
    dh_installinit --noscripts

With a Build-Depends on dh-systemd. Those tweaks seemed to fix it. I
also submitted a wishlist documentation bug:

Thanks!
