Ok, thanks for the review. Will apply it to Debian then. It doesn't look like upstream is interested in changing this back https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/4a56315a990b802860170ecd1bbd3eb68e14a38b#commitcomment-42793750 > > > > > Thoughts, Comments? > > > > I wonder if systemd can be fully installed into `/usr` now that we require > premounting.

I gave this a try. It can. See https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/-/merge_requests/104 Still very rough, but the package is usable and able to boot a system, reading udev rules and systemd services from both /lib and /usr/lib. We probably need quite a few more compat symlinks though. This is only the systemd/udev side, though. The i-s-h/debhelper side is still missing and we'd need to hash out a plan for this. I'd need help with doing that. Anyone interested? Michael
