    /usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper is part of Essential:yes package
    init-system-helper and present on all installations on all architectures
    since 2013.

commit c9b9b4e0e81af99f09c69263dd41eea332b1f743
Author: Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues <josch@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Mar 12 14:00:29 2026 +0100

    autoscripts: enable update-rc.d and deb-systemd-helper with $DPKG_ROOT
    
    Both update-rc.d and deb-systemd-helper do support $DPKG_ROOT and thus
    we don't have to disable their use when $DPKG_ROOT is non-empty.
