Up to now I can't reproduce the problem: after rebooting the system everything
seems to work just fine …

The shutdown hung at first, after issuing "systemctl daemon-reexec" it
continued; probably "systemctl daemon-reexec" would have "solved" the problem
in the first place? Don't know … I wasn't fast enough and failed to cancel the
shutdown in time.

If I find a way to reproduce the problem (or it reappears by itself) I can test
the package, sure.

amd64.
