| I have decided not to merge this part for now. I'd much prefer if ubuntu
| would adopt the lock group too, since everything else appears to be a
| security nightmare to me. Also note that Ubuntu and Debian are in the
| same boat here, so if we merge some fix for this I want something that
| covers both cases.
| 
| Tollef, Michael, can you comment on your plans on Debian regarding the
| lock group and the default mount flags for /var/run?

I think the general plan would look like:

- Discuss on debian-devel, make people aware of the problem.

- Make the change on a few test systems, see what breaks, file bugs.

- Iterate the above until we have a reasonable system where /var/lock as
group lock works correctly.

| Would it be feasible to simply create the group from the systemd .deb
| for now, and see what breaks?

I'd rather not do that.
