The command you want "systemctl start forked-daapd".

You are correct that the systemd service file does not start
automatically. This is probably because the rules file is missing a
"--with systemd" which is necessary for debhelper to do this, or
alternatively use compat 10 which enables this sequence by default.

As a workaround, just execute "systemctl enable forked-daapd" after
installing the package.

Thanks,
James
