systemd service file in wrong directory

[alteholz]

When preparing the Debian package of lprint, lintian complains:
E: lprint: systemd-service-file-outside-lib etc/systemd/system/lprint.service
N:
N: The package ships a systemd service file outside /lib/systemd/system/
N:
N: Systemd in Debian searches for unit files in /lib/systemd/system/ and
N: /etc/systemd/system. Notably, it does not look in
N: /usr/lib/systemd/system/ for service files.
N:
N: System administrators should have the possibility to overwrite a
N: service file (or parts of it, in newer systemd versions) by placing a
N: file in /etc/systemd/system, so the canonical location used for
N: service files is /lib/systemd/system/.

Do you mind changing the directory of the service file to /lib/systemd/system?

Hi @alteholz ,

I have PR #50 for tackling this - currently with solution to use %{prefix}/lib/systemd/system by default, but you can pass a path on your own. The prefix is usually set by passing --prefix to configuration script, or /usr/local by default.
