we currently have two systemd module in Puppet, dsa_systemd (from the Debian sysadmins) and camptocamp-systemd, from the Puppet forge.

the latter was imported as a dependency of the Prometheus module and it would be very hard to remove it from our codebase.

we should look at whether we can replace the dsa_systemd module with the forge systemd module instead. this would allow us to collaborate with a broader community and remove duplicate code from our monorepo.

ideally, we'd also provide the good DSA folks a procedure on how to perform the migration, since we'll have to do it anyways.

so far, I've found this transition:

dsa_systemd::linger { 'bridgescan': }

... becomes:

loginctl_user { 'tordnsel':
    linger => enabled,
}

we also use:

• dsa_systemd::override
• dsa_systemd::mask

we already use the camptocamp:

• systemd::tmpfile
• systemd::unit_file

... and we have various systemd files manually deployed in /lib and /etc
