Hahaha. -ETOOMANYBUGS So what happened here is that I looked into a /usr-merge conversion for a few example packages and clevis happened to be picked randomly. I then noticed that there were very many such packages and looked for ways to convert them using binNMUs. There are two things that we can adapt easily and those are dh_installsystemd (and where it chooses to place units) and systemd.pc. So I started a partial archive rebuild with these two modifications and clevis happened to fail. I totally forgot about that earlier patch by then. So this bug is real. Even with #1052278 applied, clevis will FTBFS when systemd.pc changes. With this patch applied, we can perform the equivalent of #1052278 by changing systemd.pc and then binNMUing clevis (with the same effect as #1052278 on restructuring changes causing breakage). Given the additional insights gained now, I recommend dropping #1052278 and using this patch only. Rationale: * This patch achieves the same effect although with a little more delay at the time of my choosing. * #1052278 needs to be reverted when backporting clevis to bookworm, but this patch will not break backports. I'm sorry for the back and forth. Thanks for bearing with me. Helmut
