    debian/extra/network: use NamePolicy=keep mac on USB wifi devices
    
    Putting `keep` before `mac` preserves names provided by userspace, so
    running a command such as:
    `# iw dev wireless0 interface add virt_example type managed`
    (where wireless0 is a USB wifi dongle) will correctly create a device named
    `virt_example` instead of it being renamed to something like `wlxa1b2ccd344ef`

    Move modules-load from systemd package to udev package
    
    This depends on libkmod to work, and it's something that is needed on a host,
    but not in a container, just like udev (on both counts).

commit ef267b3ad65d366b7be5059fd6ddff8caf14e0ed
Author: Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues <josch@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Jul 2 11:12:00 2026 +0200

    debian/libpam-systemd.postinst: run pam-auth-update with --root=$DPKG_ROOT
    
    If $DPKG_ROOT is set and not empty (this happens if dpkg is run with
    --force-script-chrootless) let pam-auth-update operate on a different
    directory by passing the --root parameter.  Passing the root parameter
    is no longer needed if pam-auth-update switches to $DPKG_ROOT as the
    default for --root. See #1137186.
    
    Changing the calls to pam-auth-update in the prerm scripts is not
    necessary because package removal is not supported with chrootless mode.
    
    systemd-homed is not patched because there was yet no use-case (and thus
    also no tests in the dpkg-root-demo salsa CI pipeline) for installing
    that package. We want to keep this patch and changes minimal.
    
    This change should introduce zero behavioral change in the "normal case"
    because for regular installations, DPKG_ROOT will be empty and thus the
    pam-auth-update will be identical to how it always has been.

    d/t/upstream: use mkosi from archive for Ubuntu autopkgtest
    
    In Ubuntu, we do not want to rely on mkosi from git because that
    requires Restrictions: needs-internet and is not guaranteed. Add logic
    to the script so that when running for Ubuntu (and not for upstream
    tests), mkosi is not pulled from git, and instead is used from the
    archive.
