Bug#1013340: systemd: unclear (but probably very important) NEWS message

[Julian Gilbey]

Package: systemd
Version: 251.2-5
Severity: normal

There is a NEWS entry in 251.2-3:

  systemd-boot has been split into a separate package.
  This new systemd-boot package will not be installed automatically on
  upgrades. If you are using systemd-boot, please install this new
  package manually.

As a user who installed their Debian system via the installer, I have
no clue whether or not I use systemd-boot.  Reading the manpage for
systemd-boot left me no clearer.  Since this may well be critical for
systems to be able to boot, it would be extremely helpful to give the
administrator some pointers on how to work out whether or not they are
using systemd-boot.

Best wishes,

   Julian
