ABI breakage: paths changed for sysusers.d/sysctl.d/binfmt/modules-load.d

[Balint Reczey]

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/971282:

Package: systemd
Version: 246.6-1
Severity: important

Upstream changed the paths in systemd.pc from prefix to rootprefix in
v246 for sysusers_dir, sysctl_dir, binfmt_dir and modules-load_dir:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/4a56315a990b802860170ecd1bbd3eb68e14a38b

This breaks packages which use pkg-config to determine those paths and
where .install files reference /usr/. An example is mandos.

I think we should revert this change. I don't see a compelling reason to
move those files from /usr to /lib given that we require /usr to be
pre-mounted by initramfs, if it's separate.
Moving files from /usr to /lib files kinda backwards nowadays.

I intend to apply a patch like the attached one in Debian.
That said, I hope I can convince Lennart to revert this change upstream
as well.

Thoughts, Comments?

systemd (246.6-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * XDG autostart improvements
    - Add support for Path= in XDG Desktop File
    - Ignore more common XDG Desktop Entry fields
    - Lower most info messages to debug level (Closes: #968116)
  * Re-enable seccomp support on riscv64.
    This should be safe now, as the code has fallbacks for systems with
    older libseccomp versions.
  * Move sysusers.d/sysctl.d/binfmt.d/modules-load.d back to /usr.
    In Debian, late mounting of /usr is no longer supported, so it is safe
    to install those files in /usr.
    We want those facilities in /usr, not /, as this will make an eventual
    switch to a merged-usr setup easier. (Closes: #971282)
  * units: update serial-getty@.service to support 57600 baud rate
    (Closes: #969144)
  * bootspec: don't fail with EIO if searching for ESP and finding one without
    an enveloping partition table
    (Closes: #970534)
