And that's the source of your problem, believe it or not.

Because what /etc/macchanger/ifupdown.sh does is it explicitly checks
for "true" value:

if [ "$ENABLE_ON_POST_UP_DOWN" != "true" ]; then
    echo "disabled in /etc/default/${package}" >> $LOGFILE
    exit
fi

Anything else, be it "TRUE", "YES" or "y" is considered "disabled" by
that check.


Now if "YES" appeared in /etc/default/macchanger by means of running
debconf - that's a bug in the package. Either debconf template or
ifupdown.sh should be changed to account that "YES" value.

But does systemd affects the package somehow - no, it does not.
