Package: systemd
Version: 233-10
Severity: normal
I'm not suggesting a change here, but I do think this could use
documentation in the release notes and NEWS.Debian file.
Commit 79413b673b45adc98dfeaec882bbdda2343cb2f9 in systemd 228 (between
jessie and stretch) effectively broke/disabled the %u, %U, %s and %h
specifiers in units. I ran into this with a local unit that used %u,
which went from expanding to the value of User to expanding to "root".
It took quite a bit of investigating to figure out the cause.
At a minimum, I would suggest adding something to the stretch release
notes about this, as well as a NEWS.Debian entry.
You might also consider, in your next stretch-proposed-updates upload,
including the same NEWS.Debian entry.

Let's close this bug report. I apologize for not handling this in a more
timely matter.
I think adding a documentation update now (to unstable) is way to late
and this doesn't really qualify as an easy relevant for the LTS release.
Again sorry for causing you unnecessary work.

Michael
