You do us a service by raising this.
We are lead to believe there is a huge number of people who want to
preseed d-i to have a "clean install". Not one person on -user or -devel
has indicated any success with using the patch or given any detail which
would allow anyone to follow in their footsteps and test it.
Why not? Is it so difficult? Is it beyond the capabilities of a user
with technical skills? Looks like half an hour's work to me. Those who
have a vested interest in the issue seem reluctant to turn "apparently
works" into "does work" or "does not work".
Until we get some testing and substantial feedback, using this patch to
beat the anti-systemd drum should be seen as noise.
