[$] Debian Technical Committee overrides systemd change
Debian packagers have a great deal of latitude when it comes to theconfiguration of the software they package; they may opt, for example,to disable defaultfeatures in software that they feel are a securityhazard. However, packagers are expected to ensure that their packagescomply with Debian Policy,regardless of the upstream's preferences. If a packager fails tocomply with the policy, the Debian TechnicalCommittee (TC) can step in to override them, which it hasdone in the case of a recent systemd change that broke severalprograms that depend on a world-writable /run/lockdirectory.
