Hi Dmitry,
This report seems to be a regression related to your patch from #462389.
Of the two issues spotted:
* openssh: Could be fixed by having openssh pass -p openssh-server to
dh_installinit AFAICT (not tested)
* util-linux: It does something "funky" where I am not really sure what
the best solution is[1]
Could you please have a look at it? If you do not have time to look at
it in a short timeframe, then please let me know. In that case, I will
prefer to revert the patch for now to avoid having breakage for too long.
Thanks,
~Niels

It contains the following related packaging files AFAICT:
