Bug#763297: transition: libsystemd

Severity: normal

Hi,

in systemd v209, the various libsystemd-* libraries were merged into a
single libsystemd0 library. We still build the old libraries to not
break existing packages, though.
The libsystemd-(daemon|journal|login|id128)-dev package now point to
-lsystemd0, i.e. packages once rebuilt will link against libsystemd0 not
the old library names and we want all packages to link against the new
libsysemd0 library so we can eventually drop the compat library
packages.

Please schedule a round of binNMUs so affected packages will be rebuilt
against libsystemd0. Afaics this doesn't qualify as library transition
but it's probably easiest to find affected packages via a transition
tracker.

The ben file for it should look something like this:

title = "libsystemd";
is_affected = .depends ~ "libsystemd-(daemon|journal|login|id128-)0," | .depends ~ "libsystemd0";
is_good = .depends ~ "libsystemd0";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libsystemd-(daemon|journal|login|id128-)0,";


The binNMU could be something like "Rebuild against libsystemd0"

Thanks for considering,

Michael
