    useraddhook: weaken dependency on passwd
    
    The --prefix option is not present for passwd in bookworm, but is
    available for useradd and usermod. Enable a fallback implementation for
    backporting.

commit d3fee5530b3a4401dc531f64eea512fddfa49413
Author: Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>
Date:   Wed Oct 15 18:17:53 2025 +0200

    debvm-create: correctly pass positional mmdebstrap arguments
    
    We must always pass the target, because passing a mirror to debvm-create
    is explicitly supported. Also pass the suite when skipping ext4.
    
    Fixes: a73a91058ba5 ("Use mke2fs with tarball")

commit 15717988d17edd21f9920dff2a8c3df4908bce35
Author: Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>
Date:   Sat Jul 5 22:01:32 2025 +0200

    Demote systemd requirement
    
    As we no longer use the host's systemctl by default, we may skip
    installing it in many cases.
    
    Note that autopkgtest's setup-testbed still has uses of systemd host
    tools, so we keep it there.
