I mentioned it because of its potential for the sysadmin to use it as
ransomware against the users. (Well, the BOFH community will only mildly
grin in their retirement homes.)

  https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/
points to a man page systemd-homed.service(8).
Archlinux wiki has hands-on instructions:
  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-homed
But getting it on Debian still might become adventurous.

Sid is quite outdated when it comes to newest kernel bugs or features.

For example
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1801353
never made it into Debian.

Kernel commit 78ed001d9e71 overwrote the function pointer for ioctl()
on sr by the pointer to a legacy ioctl() function. Result was that the
root filesystem of the installation ISO could not be mounted. (Not
specific to ISO 9660. But generic bugs have a tendency to show up first
on the newest ISOs.)


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
