I disagree - having .service files is a perfect way to make sure that openbsc by default use .config and hlr files in locations supplied by the package. Also it helps to improve security of the setup by using options like "PrivateTmp", "InaccessibleDirectories", "ReadOnlyDirectories" etc.

On a related note - if there were some changes made to /debian directories while packaging it probably make sense to merge them back to upstream.

Thanks for great work.

Nice! Thanks, Ruben!!

Please test the package and file bugs as you find them. I haven't added init/service files
yet to the package, since it needs some careful thought around what default is the best
for the general users.

I agree. Also, the binaries by default typically look in ./ for config
files, not using /etc/osmocom/ or something. Makes sense to me to not have
service files.
