Re: systemd 230-7~bpo8+2 (bug causes shutdown freeze)
I am completely open to the possibility that you're reading the bug reports better than me. I'm not a developer, so I tried to understand it as best as possible. Whether it's in systemd or udev or both, yes the fix is not in stable/Stretch yet, it's in testing and unstable.
It says on the Debian Backports webpage (https://backports.debian.org/) that "backports are packages taken from the next Debian release (called "testing")." So I'm confused, why can't this be updated from testing? Is it because Jessie is oldstable now?
Thanks.

If I'm reading
the bug correctly, this is more specifically a bug in
udev, when run under sysvinit (not systemd) as
pid 1. So it is
mitigated by not affecting
Debian's default init implementation
(although the fix would have to be applied to
the systemd source
package, because that
also builds udev).

By backports policy, this
can't be fixed in jessie-backports other than
by backporting from stretch. I don't see
any reference to #791944 having
been fixed
in stretch?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=867335
is a request
for permission to update
systemd in stretch with some other bug fixes
taken from unstable. #791944 would have to go
through the same process.
