I thought it important to issue a warning, just in case.

I removed systemd itself nut not its libraries from my laptop some
months ago and installed systemd-shim.

But just now I no0tieced I had forgotten to switch from testing to
jessie. I thought others might be in the same boat.

My server, though, has bever touched jessie and has been on wheezy all
along, despite its outdated and incomplete uPnP implementations.
