Package: systemd
Version: 258~rc2-2
Severity: critical
Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/38563
Breaks unrelated software.
/var/lock/ is not just the dumping ground for lock files of random
applications, but also the published interface for system-wide locks of
serial devices.
From section 5.9.1 of the FHS:
Lock files should be stored within the /var/lock directory
structure.
Lock files for devices and other resources shared by multiple
applications, such as the serial device lock files that were
originally found in either /usr/spool/locks or /usr/spool/uucp,
must now be stored in /var/lock. The naming convention which
must be used is "LCK.." followed by the base name of the
device. For example, to lock /dev/ttyS0 the file "LCK..ttyS0"
would be created. ^[43]
I think that this can be easily solved by making /run/lock/ owned by
group dialout.

* Make /run/lock world writable by default:
"The TC therefore resolves that systemd shall provide /var/lock with
relaxed enough permissions that existing Debian software that uses
/var/lock for system-wide locks of serial devices (and similar
purposes) works again. The TC exercises its power under constitution
#6.1.4 to overrule the systemd maintainers in this regard."
