Debian package on Wheezy expects "deb-systemd-helper" to be present

    Description

      On a Debian Wheezy, the post install script for the package "mariadb-server-10.0" tries to call "deb-systemd-helper" which is part of the package "init-system-helpers" which isnt mandatory.

      On my wheezy systems, i got this error when doing an upgrade of the packages :

      Stopping MariaDB database server: mysqld.
      /var/lib/dpkg/info/mariadb-server-10.0.postinst: line 270: deb-systemd-helper: command not found
      Starting MariaDB database server: mysqld.
      Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables..

      Its just a "visual bug" as this command just tries to unmask the Systemd service "mysql.service" so its not breaking anything on non-systemd systems.

      Adding a test to check if "deb-systemd-helper" is present on the system before executing the command would be enough.


      On Jessie, the package also isnt mandatory but its a dependency on "cron" which is installed by default on most systems.
