Why did you increase the version constraint on the dh-systemd
build-dep? Does your package not build/function properly with only a
build-dep on dh-systemd (>= 1.5)? If that's the case, this should be
fixed in sid first; otherwise, please revert this unnecessary change.
Again, I want to stress the importance of making sure that the debdiff
between the package in jessie and your proposed backport is as minimal
as possible. In many cases (and it looks like this applies to ipmitool
as well), there shouldn't be any changes other than a new changelog
entry.

Vincent
