Hello,

I have just found that the original message addressed at
pkg-systemd-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org does not seem to
have arrived there; at least I cannot find it in the list archive at
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-systemd-maintainers/2014-November/thread.html.

I would appreciate very much if the systemd maintainers could
take a look at the issue.

Regards,
Karsten
