A grave bug has been introduced into the "wine" package of Debian Jessie, just days before the November 5th freeze deadline. The /usr/bin/wine launch script fails with an "error: unable to find wine executable. this shouldn't happen." message.
Debian has already suffered much unrest lately over the inclusion of systemd, with threats of a fork being issued, along with the possible cancellation of the GNU/kFreeBSD port and the possible dropping of support for the SPARC architecture. After so much strife and disruption, can Debian afford to have such a serious bug affect such a critical package so soon before such a major freeze?

Sorry, this may sound stupid, but I need to ask it: are you serious about this, or is this just a joke?
With systemd, I can never tell what's a feature that it seriously supports, and what's just hyperbole from opponents of systemd.
When a co-worker first told me that systemd uses binary log files, I laughed, because I thought he was just yanking my chain. Well, it turns out he wasn't joking!

For the record, it is a joke. Systemd is sometimes suggested to have a feature set similar to Windows services, but that's as far as it goes. OTOH, Graphics from init actually is a real thing... Because reasons. The plan is to move Linux vtty consoles to use the new systemd framebuffer stuff. Which is why as somebody who is mostly annoyed with systemd, I found the joke very funny.
