Bug#784720: systemd: issues SIGKILL too early (risk of data loss)

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-17
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream fixed-in-experimental
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

As reported in other distros:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1448259
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1183194
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1141137

This bug has been fixed in experimental[1], but this fix needs to be
cherry-picked into a Debian stable update, preferably soon enough that it
can still make it to the first jessie point release (Debian 8.1).

For the record, I've been personally a victim of a non-serious, but still
rather annoying data loss episode most likely caused by this issue, as it
matches exactly what is described in the redhat bug reports.
