  .
  The sd-login(3), sd-bus(3) and sd-id128(3) APIs are implemented in full,
- sd-journal(3) is only implemented by redirecting sd_journal_print* and
- sd_journal_send* calls to syslog(3) with other functions returning -ENOSYS and
- sd-hwdb(3) contains stubs returning -ENOSYS.
+ sd-daemon(3) is also implemented in full, although sd_is_mq() always returns 0

I don't think the package description is a good place for such technical
details.  I'd rather say that journal is write-only (via syslog), and
further in this vein.

It compiles, let's ship it!
(All changes are small and obvious.)

The package is marked as UNRELEASED, thus I did not upload as-is.
