Motivation for this change

in #56184 (comment) @qolii reported that the currently used debian patchset is gone from the mirrors. While the comment in the source suggested that we update them to a newer version in that case we should probably take a different approach in general. Having a systemd version in the tree that breaks after enough time has passed is probably a bad idea and we should use a stable source for the patches.

This change should be a no-op and safe to pick into our release branches that carry this version of systemd.

cc the usual systemd folks: @fpletz @vcunat @Mic92.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

The current approach will fail when enough time has passed. We ideally
want to be reproducible even in a few years of time. So we should pick
the sources of patches wisely as otherwise we can not do that.
