Bug Description
systemd 225 was released upstream yesterday:
http://
This includes two small new features and the usual lot of bug fixes:
* machinectl gained a new verb 'shell' which opens a fresh shell on the
target machine. It is similar to 'login', but spawns the shell
directly. The pseudo machine '.host' now refers to the local host and
is used by default. Hence, 'machinectl shell' can be used as
unit.
* systemd-networkd learned to cope with private-zone DHCP options and
allows other programs to query the values.
The package works fine on wily, I'm doing (mostly) daily builds from upstream, running them through our autopkgtests, and test 225 on my wily laptop.
Note that we don't use networkd anywhere yet, and machinectl is now in a separate systemd-container binary package which we don't install by default any more (it was split out in 224-2).
I would like to ask for a FFE so that we can update to 225 instead of cherry-picking fixes.

Impact seems sensibly limited, go ahead.
