Dear Maintainer,

I could not use openfortivpn as a systemd service out of the box.
The Debian source package (.dsc) includes the systemd unit template in
lib/systemd/system/openfortivpn@.service.in, but the resulting unit file is
missing from the end package in /usr/lib/systemd/system/.

Expected outcome:
The package installs /usr/lib/systemd/system/openfortivpn@.service,
enabling managing connections via 'systemctl start|stop|enable openfortivpn@
<profile>'.

Actual outcome:
No systemd service file is provided in the .deb package.

Test:
Copied the unit file to /usr/lib/systemd/system/ (manually replacing the
Makefile placeholders) and created a <profile>.conf in /etc/openfortivpn/.
The connection was successful upon starting openfortivpn@<profile>.

Thank you for maintaining openfortivpn!
