Just omit the "--with systemd" part entirely.  From debhelper(7):

-       The dh_systemd_enable and dh_systemd_start helpers have
        been replaced by the new dh_installsystemd helper.  For the
        same reason, the systemd sequence for dh has also been
        removed.  If you need to disable the dh_installsystemd
        helper tool, please use an empty override target.

        Please note that the dh_installsystemd tool has a slightly
        different behaviour in some cases (e.g. when using the
        --name parameter).

You may want to read the dh_installsystemd(1) man page to see if any of
the changes affect your package.
