Yes. I can confirm that with this patch addiitonally picked, systemd
241-7 builds fine with all tests enabled on amd64 and armhf, and that
the resulting amd64 packages will install and run fine as well. I don't
have an expendable armhf system with buster at the moment and thus
couldn't try that, but I have no reason to believe that this is prone to
breakage.

The only thing that I don't like too much that these patches looks like
they're dependent on the actual capabilities, which will break again
once the kernel adds more capabilities, and this is likely to happen in
the near future since kernel has started to split out more capabilites
which I expect to be continued in the next releases. But this is
something that systemd upstream needs to tackle.

Thanks for helping. I'd like to see these patches applied in the next
stable point release.

Greetings
Marc
