For reference, this is what I used for debugging.

Looks like a bug in deb-systemd-helper.

Asked on debian systemd mailing list.
systemd unit functional, but not enabled by default issue:
https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-systemd-maintainers/2015-May/007271.html

The original issue of this ticket is solved for now as of 11.0.0.1.7-developers-only. The Tor daemon is automatically started on first boot.

Created a minimal package to reproduce this issue on a plain Debian jessie system:
https://github.com/adrelanos/hellodaemon

Good point! That will help. I'll be comparing those packages. Preferably we can keep packages systemd-only.

systemd unit: added 'Before=control-port-filter-python.service:
https://github.com/Whonix/whonix-initializer/commit/ace6738ef5ebb00ac5bc645d80577011b873e506

For information, tried it out of curiosity some time ago. control-port -filter-python is working with systemd only (control-port-filter-python removed from /etc/init.d).

when timesync (sdwdate gui plugin) is installed, then the sdwdate.service needs an additional 'Requires = msgcollector.service' - https://phabricator.whonix.org/T106:
https://github.com/Whonix/timesync/commit/e1e88c84c07697825a4aea14ac1c723192a58075

systemd unit: added 'Before=rads.service' to prevent output by rads mixing up with output by whonix-initializer and to prevent the login manager from starting before whonix-initializer rebooted the system:
https://github.com/Whonix/whonix-initializer/commit/80dbb25732d58cab3a3abbe7634345d42848d4a5

systemd unit: added 'KillMode = process', because the daemon handles terminating child processes itself - https://phabricator.whonix.org/T106:
https://github.com/Whonix/sdwdate/commit/3a14c5ecc0649c66df43a396a20a47da4b27383d

fix:
https://github.com/Whonix/msgcollector/commit/8132e8a8ffaeede8557f9482ff64464c5c998296

fix, lib/systemd/msgcollector.service -> lib/systemd/system/msgcollector.service - https://phabricator.whonix.org/T106:
https://github.com/Whonix/msgcollector/commit/a708e9180eb22038aad68e5fb0990a4122eb9daa

fix, renamed lib/systemd/system/timesanitycheck to lib/systemd/system/timesanitycheck.service:
https://github.com/Whonix/timesanitycheck/commit/fee20a038d26f281fbbcfe904ece3bd11f556bf9

Done, ported to systemd; refactoring - https://phabricator.whonix.org/T57:
https://github.com/Whonix/rads/commit/4d6de0073440f3d91e1f95f9069b555fa1c38a7f

fixed, moved from etc/grub.d/30_apparmor.cfg to etc/default/grub.d/30_apparmor.cfg since the path has changed since release of jessie:
https://github.com/Whonix/grub-enable-apparmor/commit/85aa341ef3fe9eb72ea21e6c7ad059c2bbb87e94

So far everything done here. Created follow up tasks for remaining work.

sdwdate pidfile is still missing and timesync complains about that. Working on that.

vbox-disable-timesync, no port to systemd, because upstream does not provide a systemd unit, diverting it, more robust implementation that is compatible with systemd:

All lintian warnings fixed in Whonix 11.0.0.0.5-developers-only and made lintian fail closed again. (Except for T186.)

wheezy:
Works when installing from backports. New documentation is are ready:
https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Install_Software#Backports

In progress.

all packages: added debian/source/lintian-overrides with debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature to fix lintian warning - https://phabricator.whonix.org/T277:

• https://github.com/Whonix/anon-apt-sources-list/commit/272de53bb78ab00743ae5cdd58527a5f03af13bf
• [...]
• https://github.com/Whonix/Whonix/commit/a44f1f994adc357e4c8644e05ae375f64d46e917

• Our debian/watch files are broken anyhow. (uscan does no longer work with them. Probably because github changed something.)
• We're not providing tarballs and/or detached OpenPGP signatures for packages. Only signed git tags.
• uscan does not support [signed] git [tags] (yet?).

Let's let it fail open so we have a reminder, motivation, notification to actually fix those.

Debian 8 "Jessie" released:
https://www.debian.org/News/2015/20150426

It's a different issue. Found a related issue and fixed it: T279

Fixed:
https://github.com/Whonix/Whonix/commit/d671b8b085d8a008704513cf4c1d1270749749c2

I had to force disable lintian to compile jessie,

sed -i "s/make_use_lintian=\"true\"/make_use_lintian=\"false\"/g" "${WHONIX_DIR}/build-steps.d/1200_create-debian-packages"

Great stuff. Needless to say I am a huge fan of drop-in snippets.

Can you please elaborate?

Yes, please help with systemd stuff.

May be helpful for systems configuration. Debian directory structure could be different:

Paths of the ksm/ksmtuned services on RHEL family:
/usr/lib/systemd/system/ksmtuned.service 
/usr/lib/systemd/system/ksm.service 

Is adding this for ksmtuned a matter of emulating your commit?

I have written a tor systemd unit file that seems to be working. I have added it to the qubes-whonix package.

Bug was on weezy

Yes, this one really would be better off with a Qubes specific patch until Whonix 10.1 or Whonix 11.

Sorry, these messages sometime are ending up in spam folder.

@nrgaway any updates?

Sure.
