Yes, the package uses dh_installsystemd (thanks to having debian/simplemonitor.service). No extra configuration. Installing simplemonitor via "apt", I see at the end: ----- Unpacking simplemonitor (1.13.0-1) ... Setting up simplemonitor (1.13.0-1) ... Created symlink '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/simplemonitor.service' → '/usr/lib/systemd/system/simplemonitor.service'. Processing triggers for man-db (2.13.0-1) ... ----- When you said "that should be enough.": do you mean that for a user to know that the package is systemd ready this is enough?
