Yeah, that's a pattern :-)

Looking a bit further and I found https://bugs.debian.org/975422 through
https://salsa.debian.org/samba-team/samba/-/commit/0c3b2056764cd1a566766c3e1764d7c312eab5d7
titled: "Ensure systemd-tmpfiles is called before testparm (Closes: #975422)"

This seems highly relevant for this issue.

My (Xen Dom0) *Bookworm* system/server is somewhat unusual in that it's off
most of the time and reboots (or cold boots) happen more regular then what
most people expect for a Xen Dom0 system.
Not sure what to make of this and whether it's relevant ...
