[Bug 2109252] Re: [Rpi 5 16Gb / Ubuntu 25.04] Error at boot: failed to start pemmican-reset.service

[Dave Jones]

Yes, this is a known issue in pemmican
(https://github.com/waveform80/pemmican/issues/1) but last time I looked
into it (admittedly last year), I didn't manage to find anything that
looked like a "proper" solution. In other words, everything wound up
being some variation of "back-off and restart" (what pemmican does
currently) or "don't use systemd user units for this" (but those are the
only thing I can find that works across all flavours of our desktop
without shipping a whole bundle of different configurations).
