As the OP, I'd like to point out a less conspiratorial possibility:
the quality of documentation.
On trying to upgrade I see a problem with systemd-shim.¹
Looking up the documentation of the package, I see:
-------------
Description: shim for systemd
This package emulates the systemd function that are required to run the systemd
helpers without using the init service
--------------
To me, a non-expert user, what sense does this make?
Is 2 lines normal documentation for an apt package?
----------------
¹ Also with some povray stuff, but by now I know just enough to know
that if povray breaks, povray breaks, if systemd breaks, I'll
probably have an unbootable system:
Well thats the hearsay, Ive not seen directly an unbootable system
Ive seen so far
- networking getting knocked off
- gdm getting knocked off
- other random glitches like erratic shutdowns
