I do not think this FFe request provides sufficient rationale for why we would want to make an exception. (Neither Debian testing having a newer version, nor "carrying fewer patches", are a compelling reason.)
It also does not include any in-depth analysis of the risks, beyond saying that 241 is "safer". If there is no more detailed analysis of what has changed upstream in 242, then we should default to safer. ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1843755 Title: [FFe] Please accept systemd 242 to Eoan Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Eoan currently has 241-7ubuntu1, Debian stable has 241 and Debian testing moved to 242 last week. While version 241 is the safer choice for Eoan (from v241 and v242) since it is widely tested updating to v242 will allow us to carry fewer patches in Eoan and makes moving to the next release easier. The proposed package is tested in Bileto and all tests are passing (except for a few unrelated failures): https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/3797 The final version will be 242-6ubuntu1 and I'm tidying up the changelog, too. I plan merging 242-7, too, going forward but this will not need an FFe.
