That is true. But from the fact that Michael Biebl did this (both)
incompatibilities and that he does not care about anything else than
systemd, I will never ever again file a bug report in debian itself.

Michael Biebl, who is one of the main problems regarding the whole
systemd trouble, is no one I want to get frustrated with anymore!

As told above, I think he will just ignore it and close it as wontfix as
he does it usually.

Not easy to find. The scripts seem to be ok but not the binaries.

One (and the essential one) is ifupdown. After the update, I end without
network therefore. One another is, as you already wrote, x11. And there
seems to be one with cryptsetup or btrfs-tools as I got some error
messages about not supported CPU feature, which is not correct. But the
last could also be accourding to tempfile.
