Dear release team,

a few fixes have piled up in our systemd jessie branch, so I'd like to
make a stable upload for 8.4.

The annotated changelog is:

systemd (215-17+deb8u4) stable; urgency=medium

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/udev.prerm: Add missing "deconfigure" action. (Closes: #809744)

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?h=jessie&id=966a8a4098478e13694e054b90c3567474293d37

  * udev.postinst: Don't call addgroup with --quiet, so that if the "input"
    group already exists as a non-system group you get a sensible error
    message. Some broken tutorials forget the --system option.
    (Closes: #769948, LP: #1455956)
  * systemd.postinst: Drop the --quiet from the addgroup calls as well, same
    reason as above. (Closes: #762275)

  * Make sure all swap units are ordered before the swap target. This avoids
    that swap devices are being stopped prematurely during shutdown.
    (Closes: #805133)

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?h=jessie&id=c4793975137d5d522fee104b7dab94a79547effd

This is a rather important fix. Software might need the swap space on
shutdown. Not having it around might lead to corrupt data.

This fix has been in unstable/testing for a while.

  * Only skip the filesystem check for /usr if the /run/initramfs/fsck-usr
    flag file exists. Otherwise we break booting with dracut which uses
    systemd inside the initramfs. (Closes: #810748)

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?h=jessie&id=447f0bc15b247550bc50306e1c6000a56d8d68b0

Without this fix, having split-usr and dracut installed will result in
an unbootable system. The fix has been in unstable/testing for a while.

  * Fix --network-interface in systemd-nspawn to not fail when modifying an
    existing link. (Closes: #813696)

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?h=jessie&id=df6ebb6fa044c71e38a585e1bbd4d1dc0907d993

Obvious bug fix. Not a terribly important bug, but we had users asking for
an explit backport/cherry-pick of this upstream fix an I see no good
reason why no. Low/No regression potential.

Please let me know if I can proceed with the upload.
