Dear heimdal Maintainers,

your packages heimdal-kcm and heimdal-kdc currently ship init.d scripts
and rely on systemd-sysv-generator(8) to integrate with systemd, Debians
default init.

Please ship systemd unit files instead of relying on the sysv shim. When
doing so, you could consider taking advantage of new features, like
sandboxing.

In case upstream does not ship unit files, maybe what Fedora ships could
serve as a starting point:

Thanks,
Chris

Add systemd service units for heimdal-kdc and heimdal-kcm

Provide debian/heimdal-kdc.service and debian/heimdal-kcm.service so each
package ships a systemd unit matching its init.d script, fixing the
lintian missing-systemd-service-for-init.d-script errors.
