+  * On Ubuntu (Focal) 20.04, SSSD 2.2.3-3, logs in Journald have invalid
  (non-numeric) SYSLOG_PID. Any tooling collecting SYSLOG_PID further, or
  attempting to work with syslog directly, fail to parse the PID as
  number.
  
-  * Systemd does not validate, and simply expects SYSLOG_PID as numeric 
integers formatted as decimal strings:

Considering Debian testing is currently at SSSD 2.4.0-1, it does not appear 
applicable to fix in upstream.

+  * The package itself does not appear to provide any SYSLOG_PID. The
+ SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER appears to instead 'leak' over into PID, hinting at
+ trouble on systemd side. SSSD source at:
+ https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/blob/sssd-2_2_3/src/util/sss_log.c#L110
+ 
+  * Applying a change to SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER (prefixing with "sssd[" and 
suffixing with "]") results in "SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=sssd_be" being logged, and no 
SYSLOG_PID being reported.
