+systemd (247.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  systemd now defaults to the "unified" cgroup hierarchy (i.e. cgroupv2).
+  This change reflects the fact that cgroupsv2 support has matured
+  substantially in both systemd and in the kernel.
+  All major container tools nowadays should support cgroupv2.
+  If you run into problems with cgroupv2, you can switch back to the previous,
+  hybrid setup by adding "systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=false" to the
+  kernel command line.
+  You can read more about the benefits of cgroupv2 at
+  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.html

+systemd (247.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  KERNEL API INCOMPATIBILITY: Linux 4.14 introduced two new uevents
+  "bind" and "unbind" to the Linux device model. When this kernel
+  change was made, systemd-udevd was only minimally updated to handle
+  and propagate these new event types. The introduction of these new
+  uevents (which are typically generated for USB devices and devices
+  needing a firmware upload before being functional) resulted in a
+  number of issues which we so far didn't address. We hoped the kernel
+  maintainers would themselves address these issues in some form, but
+  that did not happen. To handle them properly, many (if not most) udev
+  rules files shipped in various packages need updating, and so do many
+  programs that monitor or enumerate devices with libudev or sd-device,
+  or otherwise process uevents. Please note that this incompatibility
+  is not fault of systemd or udev, but caused by an incompatible kernel
+  change that happened back in Linux 4.14, but is becoming more and
+  more visible as the new uevents are generated by more kernel drivers.
+
+  To learn more about the required udev rules changes please check the
+  "CHANGES WITH 247" section of /usr/share/doc/systemd/NEWS.gz.

+systemd (236-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  DynamicUser=yes has been enabled for systemd-journal-upload.service and
+  systemd-journal-gatewayd.service.
+  This means we no longer need to statically allocate a systemd-journal-upload
+  and systemd-journal-gateway user and you can now safely remove those system
+  users along with their associated groups.

+systemd (231-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  This version drops support for running /etc/rcS.d SysV init scripts.
+  These are prone to cause dependency loops, and almost all Debian packages
+  with rcS scripts now ship a native systemd service. If you have custom or
+  third-party rcS scripts you need to convert them or change them to run
+  in rc2.d/ - rc5.d/; see this page for details:
+  <https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/pkg-systemd/rcSMigration>.

+systemd (224-2) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  This version splits out systemd-nspawn, systemd-machined, and machinectl
+  into the new "systemd-container" package. That now also enables
+  systemd-importd.
