FWIW, I checked the stable version of bacula-common and it has the same 
story. The `systemd-tmpfiles` call only appears in the `postinst`, so 
there is no way I can find that a `bacula-common.preinst` call would 
trigger `systemd-tmpfiles` (the stable version of the preinst is a 
subset of the testing one; I know `dpkg` says it is the `new 
pre-installation script` in the log but I checked all the same).

Best regards,
Niels
