I was looking through my notes and I think I rebased the packaging on
Debian's upstream packaging to make it easier for me to incorporate
some bigger systemd patches I wrote. No changes that you made should
have been lost though, or were they?
I also wonder whether there might have been two systemd repos, one in
the regular package set and one in core, which might have led to
confusion on which one was current.

In any case, I think this was my fault, although admittedly I don't
know what you would like me to do here.
