Looks like gpm.service was just introduced. It probably needs some tweaking.

This bug was fixed in the package gpm - 1.20.7-8

---------------
gpm (1.20.7-8) unstable; urgency=high

  * Fix enabling of gpm under systemd by adding #DEBHELPER# marker to
    gpm.postinst. Try not to break other init systems while doing so.
