[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#724797: systemd-tmpfiles fails to run during boot with split-usr

[Michael Biebl]

Package: systemd
Version: 204-5
Severity: important

On a (LVM based) test installation with a split /usr configuration,
the systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service service fails to run during boot:
systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service)
Active: inactive (dead)
        start condition failed

Problem is, that the tmpfiles reside on /usr which is not available when
this service is started.
Upstream has changed the fstab generator [1] and assumes that /usr has
been mounted in the initramfs, thus no longer adds usr.mount to
local-fs.target.wants.
We should consider reverting this patch as long as initramfs-tools
doesn't support usr-mount.
