On default Debian (minimal) the libcap2-bin package is not installed, causing the service to not startup due to the /sbin/setcap command in the systemd unit.

I'm thinking about removing this line from systemd file and just setting capability with ansible capabilities module after changing file permission of blackbox_exporter binary to 0750 and ownership to blackbox-exp system user.
It could solve this problem but I don't know if this won't cause any security related issue. @SuperQ what do you think?

Yes, setting capabilities with ansible sounds great.
