I at least verified the update doesn't appear to cause any obvious regression:

[scope] this is needed only for x. this is fixed by commit 9ba37525d0ef3d144a50ed5fd4710573e92b7ec1 which is included upstream starting in v230, so this is already included in b and later. [original description] I am observing the following assertion failure in systemd-journal- remote: Assertion 'source->filled <= source->size' failed at ../src/journal- remote/journal-remote-parse.c:95, function get_line().
