Can dh_systemd_start restart service of another package?

I am creating a configuration deb package (it contains only configuration files).



I want postinst script of this package to restart an external service (service file is not being installed using my package).



Can I use dh_systemd_start to generate postinst script restarting the service? Or do I have to add it manually? (Because I am not really installing a service).



I was trying something like:



override_dh_systemd_start:
dh_systemd_start --name=name_of_ext_service


...but it doesn't work, since name_of_ext_service.service file isn't part of my package.
