+systemd (249-1) experimental; urgency=medium
 
   * New upstream version 249
+  * Rebase patches
+  * Update symbol versions for the v249 release
+  * Fix removal of systemd-hwdb-update.service.
+    As we don't support factory-reset, we don't need this service.
+    In Debian, the hwdb binary database is updated via a dpkg file trigger.
