None, as it seems that we did not hit that bug. Look I admit that doing things
on behalf of the root user is bad, is evil, is not recommended. But okay it is
under my responsibility, isn't it? (BTW that bug wouldn't cause me harm as we're
using a sandbox.)

All I want to know is that is it really something impossible to fix or is Lennart
not prefering to care of this because the outcome will only affect people building
systemd as root?

Hey you know that migrations are not always easy and fast processes. I care about migrating
to systemd, that's all. If I were capable to get the problem, of course I would try to provide
some patch, I'd be glad.
