Hi,
we already briefly discussed this via IRC on #debian-release.
The last stable upload of systemd introduced a rather nasty regression
in networkd, which broke IPv6 support for lots of users.
KiBi was so kind to dig out the relevant upstream commit which fixes
this and got confirmation from the bug reporter(s) that with this patch
applied, networkd behaves properly. I thus would like to get this
update into stable as quickly as possible.
Here's the changelog, debdiff is attached:
systemd (232-25+deb9u3) stretch; urgency=medium
[ Cyril Brulebois ]
* networkd-ndisc: Handle missing mtu gracefully.
The previous upload made networkd respect the MTU field in IPv6 RA but
unfortunately broke setups where there's no such field. (Closes: #892794)

+Subject: networkd-ndisc: handle missing mtu gracefully (#4913)
+
+At least bird's implementation of router advertisement does not
+set MTU option by default (instead it supplies an option to the user).
+In this case just leave MTU as it is.
+
+(cherry picked from commit 29b5ad083a6925efec8e188013d1298742e0baaa)
