Dear Maintainer,

the cachefilesd upstream package includes a systemd .service file, it'd be nice if it could be installed and used by the Debian package as well.

Even nicer would be to use a modernized/sandboxed version of the .service file (see attachment, I've forwarded it to the upstream maintainer as well).

Cheers,
David

PS
Might also be helpful to add a "Homepage: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/cachefilesd.git/" header to the debian/control file?

Dear maintainer,

I've uploaded an NMU for cachefilesd (versioned as 0.10.10-0.8)
prepared by Nick Rosbrook <enr0n@ubuntu.com> to DELAYED/7.
Please feel free to tell me if I should cancel it.

Regards,
Nadzeya
