Package: systemd Version: 236-1 Severity: normal Hi,
Following the instructions in /usr/share/doc/systemd/NEWS.Debian.gz DynamicUser=yes has been enabled for systemd-journal-upload.service, systemd-journal-gatewayd.service and systemd-timesyncd.service. This means we no longer need to statically allocate a systemd-journal-upload, systemd-journal-gateway and systemd-timesync user and you can now safely remove those system users. I removed the static systemd-timesync user and rebooted the system, after which systemd-timesyncd.service failed to start. When I removed the static systemd-timesync group as well, and rebooted again, systemd-timesyncd.service worked fine. (I don't use systemd-journal-{upload,gatewayd}.service, so I don't know if this applies to these services as well.)
