This moved out of udevd. Thanks to Michael Biebl for the script!

Closes: #749021

This makes it trivial to backport keymap fixes to stable releases.

Avoids hangs with startpar. Workaround for #713135.

This avoid risking that the sysv-compatible symlinks become dangling on a partial install.
Note that the Pre-Depends is unversioned to facilitate upgrades to newer systemd versions,
and that the versioned Depends is kept to ensure that user doesn't get confused to thinking
they are running a different systemd version then they are.

Do not fail udev upgrades if the udev service is already runtime-masked when the preinst script is run

Closes: #755746

Version it to ensure cgmanager support.

They don't violate the assignment schema, they should just not be persistent.
Thanks to Boris Figovsky.

Closes: #747475
LP: #1317776

Make /dev/cdrom appear for all types of drives, not just for pure CD-ROM ones.
Also, fix the symlinks to stay after change events.

LP: #1323777

The PAM module is talking directly over D-BUS.

Closes: #755968

Drop python-systemd; it does not have any reverse dependencies, and we want to
encourage moving to Python 3. This also avoids having to do another source
build.

LP: #1258089

Fixes FTBFS with latest glibc and libattr.

Cherrypicked from trunk.

Closes: #756097

Closes: #717540

Rename "api" autopkgtest to "build-login", and stop requiring that
sd_login_monitor_new() succeeds. It doesn't in many environments like schroot
or after upgrades from < 204, and the main point of the test is to check that
libsystemd-login-dev has correct contents and dependencies. Drop
"isolation-machine" requirement.

and document in more detail why certain services have been masked.

This commit was created using the following commands and then fixing up debian/patches/series manually.
$ git config diff.renames false

Deliberately exclude libgudev-1.0-dev, since it depends on
gir1.2-gudev-1.0 and gobject-introspection does not (yet) support
multiarch.

Closes: #720017

Closes: #752992

The systemd-shim package no longer provides an environment to run
systemd-logind standalone. See #752939 for further details.

Drop the obsolete check for /sys/kernel/uevent_helper from postinst and
the SysV init script and do not unconditionally overwrite it in the
initramfs hook. Since a long time now udev has been using the netlink
interface to communicate with the kernel and with Linux 3.16 it is
possible to disable CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER completely.

Closes: #752742

Update insserv generator to not create any drop-in files for services
where the corresponding SysV init script does not exist.
