Awesome!  We waited for this so long...!

Could you please expand these entries?  Neither bug is "please update to the
new version".

I'd suggest something like:
    * Merge upstream v246.9
      + Support ABI of systemd-logind 246 (Closes: #968379).
      + Log to syslog rather than kernel log (Closes: #964006).

Could you please provide a rationale for this?  Booting the actual system
from separate /usr is long since unsupported (must be one fs or mount from
initrd) thus early-boot rationales no longer apply; there's a migration off
/lib; moving stuff around can cause problems with usrmerge (which is bad IMO
but currently the default).

That's all I've found so far by build tests and staring at debdiffs, will
test actual functionality once I can reboot.

Oh yeah, so many thanks to you!
