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

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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?
