Bug#779347: keepalived: is missing a systemd service unit

[Robert Euhus]

Package: keepalived
Version: 1:1.2.13-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

* The keepalived package does not include a systemd service unit
(keepalived.conf).
* This results in some usability problems if used with salt(-minion)
or puppet, see #760616
* In short: 'systemctl is-enabled keepalived' does not work,
so salt never knows it is enabled
* I have a simple patch available, which I will attach to the bug
report

Hi,

I have included a small patch to provide a systemd service file and use
dh-systemd for proper installation and activation.

The included keepalived.service is inspired by the ones from Arch Linux
and Fedora and the instructions on the debian wiki on systemd packaging.

I am not sure, if the 'systemd-journald-dev-log.socket' in 'After=' is
really neseccary, but it surely does not hurt.

With this patch I have successfully build a package based on
keepalived_1.2.13-1 from jessie using pbuilder.

If you need any further information, please let me know.

Robert.
