Add systemd-sysupdate
This change enables systemd-sysupdate.
I built the package with sysupdate=true
in debian/rules
, and debdiff
reports the following changes:

Which looks like what I expected. Next, I installed the package in testing (trixie) and investigated the status of timers and services:
> systemctl status systemd-sysupdate.service systemd-sysupdate-reboot.service systemd-sysupdate.timer systemd-sysupdate-reboot.timer
○ systemd-sysupdate.service - Automatic System Update

○ systemd-sysupdate.timer - Automatic System Update

○ systemd-sysupdate-reboot.timer - Reboot Automatically After System Update
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-sysupdate-reboot.timer; disabled; preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Trigger: n/a

The services are triggered by timers, and all the timers are disabled - which what we want.
Only when systemd-sysupdate has been configured with config files in /etc/sysupdate.d
it makes sense for the administrator to enable them.
Finally, I tested the binary /lib/systemd/systemd-sysupdate
and it works as expected. I am able to run my updates without problems.
I also made a successful update test by triggering the service by enabling the timer.
Can't find any obvious negative side effects after installing the changes. I studied the journal and no services are failing.
