Hmm, that brings me back to: read the documentation first. In Debian the
sytemd guys are happy to help.

I still do not know what the bug is that needs fixing.
So far I did not yet receive a single bug report in Debian. And to be
hones, I'm not keen on figuring out what the differences between
Raspbian and Debian are to see what needs to be changed in Debian to get
the issues fixed in Raspbian. Afaik it works just fine for the Fedora
people and at least in testing/unstable (that is what I test and use -
and what should be stable at some point) I did not run into problems.

Oh, you can still read the normal syslog. But the binary one gives you
in-line forward secure sealing, so you are able to detect if somebody
tried to modify the log files - which is the reason why I actually like
this insanity. And the binary logs are much easier to seek/filter than
the normal syslog.

Oh, the Debian one is a different kind of code search, it takes the
source from packages in Debian - you could click on the group-by-package
button... Also we hopefully do not have code copies in Debian, if so, it
would be a policy violation....
