Can we reopen this question as a special case?
Why does it need reopening? Just add an M1 case to the community wiki answer on the dupe. If there were actually some documented special method, sure, it would be worth reopening and posting as an ans …

Can we rescue this systemd content?
IMHO, if you can still see the answer, post a question that fits the answer (share-your-knowledge) and mark the answer as a community wiki. I'd support that if the answer is good.

Aside from U&L, there is an ongoing proposal on Area51 for a separate Debian Stack Exchange. It is still in the definition stage, so go on and show your support: http://area51.stackexchange.com/propos …
