Updates package origin

[keeka]

Newer, Debian systemd and associated packages appear to be coming from the Proxmox repository.

Why is, for example, the Debian package systemd available via the Proxmox repo? Also in this case it's newer than that on Debian repo. I have not encountered that before. Do I have misconfigured sources?

~# apt policy systemd
systemd:
  Installed: 257.8-1~deb13u2
  Candidate: 257.9-1~deb13u1
  Version table:

There was an incompatibility, with the Debian version of systemd and something that Proxmox requires, and Debian does not do (non-security or feature) updates until the next major version. I cannot find the post from the Proxmox staff that mentioned that, sorry.

The version numbering (~deb13u1), whilst originating from the proxmox repo, was unusual in my experience. Thanks for the information.
