Re: Bug#763514: unblock: dbus/1.8.8-1 systemd/215-5



TL;DR: nack for now.

That's incomplete. According to my fuzzy memory (and past excuses
files), the root reason is that systemd hasn't been a candidate in a
while (too young and/or RC buggy). I've been pondering for a while
whether to try and include it but since it didn't look good this weekend
I decided to skip it. Now it's going to happen after Beta 2.  (systemd
means udev-udeb, nothing something I'd like to rush in at the last
minute.)

FWIW it might be a nice idea to coordinate such requests with Michael
since I already replied on that topic on #-release earlier today…

You'd need unblock-udeb instead.
