** Description changed:

  [impact]
  
  when libseccomp is upgraded to 2.5.1 on all releases, the systemd
  seccomp unit tests will start failing on ppc, as
  RestrictAddressFamilies= will no longer work on that arch.
  
  However, the systemd.exec man page has stated that
  RestrictAddressFamiles= doesn't work on ppc since before bionic.
  
  [test case]
  
  check systemd autopkgtest on ppc, looking at the
  test_restrict_access_familes unit test
  
  [regression potential]
  
  any regression would involve the use of RestrictAddressFamilies=, either
  no longer restricting or incorrectly restricting address familes.
  
  [scope]
  
  this is needed for b/f/g
  
  this was fixed upstream by commit
  d5923e38bc0e6cf9d7620ed5f1f8606fe7fe1168 which is included in 247, so
  this is fixed in h already
  
+ This isn't needed in x, because it doesn't include upstream commit
+ 469830d1426a91e0897c321fdc8ee428f0a750c1 which reworked the code to
+ switch from seccomp_rule_add to seccomp_rule_add_exact, so systemd could
+ handle lack of arch support itself, instead of allowing the 'not exact'
+ seccomp syscall to just ignore the call due to lack of arch support.
+ 
  [other info]
  
  libseccomp will be updated to 2.5.1 in the near future so this is needed
  before that update
