None of this fixes the fact that current 'systemd' binaries just use
'union autofs_v5_packet_union' and do a sizeof on it.
We're not breaking systemd either. You seem to not care about that,
but as long as you just blindly continue to not care, I'm going to
continue to not care about the patches.
It's that simple.
It is unfortunate that we have this idiocy with different packages
having different breakage due to the stupidity of the v5 packet, but
it's REALITY. A simple revert won't fix it, and saying "and here is
version 6" won't matter one whit to existing packages.
