I'm running 2.4.4-3 (unstable/testing) too, and it works fine out of
the box.

/var/log/icecast2 is supposed to be owned by icecast2:adm

Don't bother with a systemd service file.  It'll be fine with
/etc/init.d/icecast2 for the moment.  Don't forget to edit
/etc/default/icecast2 to enable it.

You want to point liquidsoap at a non-SSL port.  It doesn't do SSL.

Also, if you're installing from Debian, icecast2's executable is at
/usr/bin/icecast2, not /usr/local/bin/icecast2
