This bug’s severity now results in varnish and, transitively, freeradius
being removed from testing, so it warrants timely action. Whether that’s
a downgrade or a fix is up to the package maintainers (ssm?).

FWIW, I think the request to load environment variable files is
reasonable. It’s not idiomatic for systemd, but it is a widely used
technique in Debian and will smoothen the transition for our users.

In case I don’t hear from any package maintainer until 2017-03-04, I
will upload a delayed NMU (applying the supplied patch) and file an
unblock request in order to prevent removal from testing.

Thanks!
