Came across this looking up systemd on Wikipedia:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/2/420

which was spawned from:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76935

and the misuse of the "debug" kernel boot parameter.


I must say it's like watching Hans Reiser at work.

If that's the attitude of the systemd lead devs, I don't know why 
*anyone* would want to touch it, least of all debian.
