Summary: nss-systemd providing UNIX user and group name resolution for dynamic users and groups
Description: 
nss-systemd is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the
GNU C Library glibc, providing UNIX user and group name resolution for dynamic users and
groups allocated through the DynamicUser= option in systemd unit files.

This module also ensures that the root and nobody users and groups (i.e. the users/groups with the UIDs/GIDs
0 and 65534) remain resolvable at all times, even if they aren't listed in /etc/passwd or
/etc/group, or if these files are missing.

To activate the NSS module, add systemd to the lines starting with
passwd: and group: in /etc/nsswitch.conf.

passwd: files systemd
group: files systemd

- Adapted the package for filesystem >= 3:
  + put /bin after /usr/bin in default PATH for spawned processes;
  + fix symlink targets which were relative for standalone legacy directories.
  This makes us incompatible with filesystem < 3.
