Oh, it didn’t occur to me that .service files can be launched by anything else than systemd.

Now that I’m thinking more about this, one can argue if the package should install e cron job by default.
Maybe some users wouldn’t want to have fwupd auto-update (like apt-get also doesn’t auto-update by default).

Maybe just adding a section on how to create such a cron job to README.Debian or
adding a debconf question would be the better choice.

Yes, when I execute fwupdmgr, the fwupd daemon is started automatically.

Currently, I don’t know. I couldn’t get fwupd to work as I wanted to, yet.
At first I thought it was because of the package assuming systemd to be present,
but as it turns out this is not the issue.

Possibly adding a cron job for the refresh process could be seen as an improvement,
but I can imagine that opinions differ on that.

As far as I’m concerned this bug can be closed.

Thanks for your assistance.
