It should not come as a surprise to anyone given that Debian has such an 
diverse user base that there exist mass hacks in the distribution to 
please them all so filtering is needed/expected before things are being 
submitted upstream hence one would think they as in the Debian systemd 
team would have collaborated/communicated better amongst themselves 
before mass pushing downstream carried patches upstream so only the 
*relevant* upstream patches would be pushed.
