Indeed, and that is the feeling all around. Systemd developers
often (by default?) tell people to go away - you don't have commit rights.
I mentioned this before, here on the list, and elsewhere [1]. Is this
the upstream we as Debian want to work with? It seems yes, because the
responsible Debian developers for this piece of software behave the
same way - go away.

I mentioned this before in a G+ discussion [2] - devs of programs high
up in the dependency chain (i.e., not leafs like editors etc) have
a higher responsibility. Unfortunately neither systemd upstream,
in particular L. Poettering and K. Sievers, nor the Debian devs 
seem to have grasped the far-reaching responsabilities they have
taken over.

That said, I have to exclude (at least) *one* member of the
systemd dev team, Tom Gundersen, who has answered in proper ways,
explaining problems, and pro-actively taking action. Big hurray 
to him.

Norbert
