systemd 215-11 hit unstable three days ago with some important/safe
fixes. So far there have been no regression reports.

I attach the full debdiff between 215-10 and -11, but as usual I also
link to the individual commits on anonscm.  Note that there are zero
changes for udev and hence the udebs (for d-i).

Annotated changelog:

|   [ Martin Pitt ]
|   * escape-beef-up-new-systemd-escape-tool.patch: Avoid creating a danling
|     symlink, to work around regression in recent patch (see #776257).

That's an RC bug in patch, but easily worked around in systemd, so
that we can actually upload new versions until it gets fixed. patch
still needs to be fixed properly to unbreak glibc and a bunch of other
affected packages, of course.

Sorry for the typo in the changelog! (Fixed in git).

|   * Order ifup at .service and networking.service after network-pre.target.
|     (Closes: #766938)

network-pre.target in Debian's shipped units only occurs in one
package [1]; so this will make no practical difference on most systems,
but will make ifup at .service actually behave according to documentation
and fix pyroman's startup order to really start the firewall before
bringing up network interfaces.

[1] http://codesearch.debian.net/results/network-pre.target

|   * Tone down "Network interface NamePolicy= disabled on kernel commandline,
|     ignoring" info message to debug, as we expect this while we disable
|     net.ifnames by default. (Closes: #762101, LP: #1411992)

Confusing, and trivial.

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?id=9cc4d0745

|   * logind: handle closing sessions over daemon restarts. (Closes: #759515,
|     LP: #1415104)

This is admittedly a bit intrusive, but still relatively
straightforward; I'm happy to answer further questions about it. I've
heard this error (also on Ubuntu) from a lot of users by now, and it
essentially breaks your running desktop sessions on installing package
upgrades so I'd really like to fix this for Jessie. I have tested it
fairly thoroughly.

If you object or have doubts, I'm ok with backing this out again in
-12.

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?id=37ce19d

|   * logind: Fix sd_eviocrevoke ioctl call, to make forced input device release
|     after log out actually work.

This is quite an obvious fix of the ioctl; calling this "security" is
a stretch as we don't really use this feature in Debian yet. But it's
an interesting thing if you have a multi-seat system and use Wayland
instead of X.

Again, if you object I'd be okay with backing this out if you object.

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?id=2d0f077

|   * debian/patches/series: Move upstreamed patches into the appropriate
|     section.

No actual run-time effect, this just clarifies the status of our
patches.

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?id=0d5964

|   [ Michael Biebl ]
|   * Make sure we run debian-fixup.service after /var has been mounted if /var
|     is on a separate partition. Otherwise we might end up creating the
|     /var/lock and /var/run symlink in the underlying root filesystem.
|     (Closes: #768644)

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?id=a09ebde9

Trivial and obvious fix; that bug can break your system pretty badly
if you hit the race.

Thanks for considering!

Martin
