Dear Maintainer(s),

The autopkgtest for diaspora-installer are failing with systemd v260
as support for sysv scripts has been removed:

If you do not wish to ship unit files that is of course entirely fine
and up to you, but please adjust the packages or the tests so that
autopkgtest does not fail when running under systemd, blocking other
packages from migrating. Thanks!
