Dear maintainer,

please don't let deb-systemd-helper enable and start irtt.service by
default (e.g., on the client side).  I think it might be acceptable for
a user to call "systemctl start irtt.service" on the server side for
instance instead of having irtt server also running on the client side
by default.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Thomas Uhle

Dear maintainer,

please find attached a patch that I have prepared for your convenience.

The changes include that dh_installsystemd is called from debian/rules
with --no-enable, --no-start, and --restart-after-upgrade so that
irtt.service is not enabled and started by default (e.g., on the client
side), but a package upgrade would also trigger a restart of 'irtt server'
if the service was enabled and/or started by a user.  In addition, I have
added debian/irtt.install to simplify debian/rules, and I have also added
debian/irtt.examples to have the sysvinit and openrc scripts also included
in the binary package for users that live without systemd.

Best regards,

Thomas Uhle
