(looking at your rules file)
override_dh_installinit:
	dh_installinit --no-stop-on-upgrade --no-start --name=mini-httpd

override_dh_installsystemd:
	dh_installsystemd --name=mini-httpd

if the '--no-stop-on-upgrade --no-start' is to avoid a conflict between
the systemd service and the init.d file, you don't need that: debhelper
generated scripts should do the right thing.
If you look at generated maintscripts you see that systemctl calls are
guarded by a test for /run/systemd/system (it imply that systemd is the
running init); the equivalent code for sysvinit (invoke.rc.d) is not
guarded but that's ok since other inits are supposed to mask
initscripts and systemd already does that.

Lorenzo
