I retitled the bug report.

I don't think a NEWS.Debian entry would help that much. Afaik, such an
entry would only be shown on *upgrades* of systemd, not fresh
installations. It's also not really a behavioural change *in* systemd
itself, only compared to sysvinit.

Maybe adding it to README.Debian would be better.

That has happened for the jessie release notes which had a dedicated
section about this specific issue.
