Excellent. Did Kay Sievers accept it was a bug? From what I can see
the bug report is still open[1], and your patch to rename the
configuration to systemd.debug received unanimous consensus in the
mailing list, yet it wasn't applied.

So I bet the answer is no, he never accepted it, and we should expect
these issues to continue... it's only a matter of time before we hit
the next breakage.
