Why might there be such stale entries ?

Why is this not a bug in systemd ?  If there are workarounds in
osstest for Debian, I usually want a bug in the BTS, and a suite limit
on the workaround so that we poke Debian again in 2 years time...

Alternatively, if indeed this is necessary and not due to bugs,
perhaps it should be done by xen-tools ?
