I don't know where it came from, but I did a fresh install yesterday from
a 2.1 iso, used guided partitioning for encrypted lvm, all files in one
partition (with separate /boot), lxqt desktop, and then dist-upgraded it
to beowulf.

On the first 'apt dist-upgrade' there were some conflicts with java
libraries for libreoffice. That was resolved with 'apt --fix-broken
install' and another dist-upgrade.

elogind, libelogind0 and libpam-elogind were held back. 'apt install
elogind=241.3-1' fixed that (and libsystemd0 got removed.)

There were no issues with the encrypted lvm except for the shutdown delay,
which is a well-known problem.
