Package: systemd

Because of #1056135 I was downgradin systemd/udev packages to 254.5-1.
While apt was still running, this causes the whole desktop environment
(I use cinnamon) to be killed (and all processes in it ;-) ).


My guess is, that the failures you encountered are due to the following
change in v255:

"""
          Service Manager:

          * The way services are spawned has been overhauled.

I couldnt follow the bit i deleted, and this maybe jumping to
conclusions: are there any implications for upgrading to/after 255
within a desktop environment?
should something be said in the release-notes?


No, upgrades should work fine.
That said, the usual recommendations for dist-upgrades apply
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#upgrade-preparations

I.e. it is generally not recommended to dist-upgrade from within a desktop session although usually it works.
