Hello Michael, thank you very much for both the issue and the patch;



  * We released LTSP 21.01 a couple of days ago, in time for bullseye.
    It would be time-saving to apply the patch in the next release.

I would prefer to postpone its integration to LTSP until its next version in a few months, for the following reasons:

Applying this change via debian/patches is trivial. I can send a patch for that, if you want.

  * LTSP is used for netbooting various distributions and versions.
    So one can e.g. netboot debian-stretch.iso from a bullseye server;
    in that case, the patch would break their DNS there.
    So it's best to be as backwards-compatible as possible.
  * So, if it doesn't cause any ill effects, I would like to push a patch
    that makes LTSP use resolvectl but fall back to systemd-resolve,
    in a few months, when the next LTSP version will be released.

Regards,
Michael

As a heads-up:I intend to drop this symlink in bullseye+1 and also provide systemd backports for bullseye with this change applied. So I guess it's up to you to decide whether you want this combination (bullseye ltsp + bullseye-backports systemd) to work or not. It's probably unlikely that there will be many such setups, but I think you should be aware.
