Michael Biebl, long-time maintainer of systemd for Debian (2010 or earlier, based on changelog.Debian.gz), is taking undetermined holidays from packaging it. The e-mail was short:
Will stop maintaining systemd in debian for a while.
What's going on is just too stupid/crazy.
This takes place after he discussed a bug in which he expected systemd to respect local settings, and not rename network devices:
@yuwata a default policy like /lib/systemd/network/99-default.link should never trump explicit user configuration.
Later he seems surprised about how things roll there:
I'm amazed that I have to point this out....
The issue is locked currently, and also archived just in case, so everyone can read the initial report and the replies he got.
Opinion: It seems distribution developers are starting to get the stick too, not just users with their "errors" (taken from a reply). Will distributions finally wake up or is that they don't still grok the attitude of projects like this? [Or is it something else? --Ed.]

The problem is with PulseAudio
Poettering has decided that, obviously, you want your headphone volume at 100%. Otherwise you might miss out on the quiet sounds.
How to tell if a problem you are having is with code that Poettering wrote:
1) Determine you are having a problem.
2) Determine if the problem path includes any code written by Poettering
3) if the answer to #2 is yes, then the problem you are having is always with the code that Poettering wrote.
