Meaning, I presume, that systemd tells it who is allowed to adjust the
enetwork configuration, not that systemd warns the sysadmin upon
installation.
Is this something that has to be specially configured with systemd, or
does systemd just do the check that a user is part of the netdev group?

package description seen in aptitude.
