+Subject: [PATCH] units: make systemd-journald.service Type=notify
+
+It already calls sd_notify(), so it looks like an oversight.
+
+Without it, its ordering to systemd-journal-flush.service is
+non-deterministic and the SIGUSR1 from flushing may kill journald before
+it has its signal handlers set up.
