to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Systemd spams logs too much with pointless messages

  [Test Case]

   * Boot system and observe no pointless messages of scheduling random
  timers for things at a given offset

  [Regression Potential]

   * Low, this patch simply changes the priority of the message from
  info to debug.

  [Original bug report]

  Please backport upstream systemd v233 commit
  382852fd581efe3cc0ae11154102ab9f435adea1 "core/timer: downgrade
  message about random time addition (#5229)".
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/382852fd581efe3cc0ae11154102ab9f435adea1

  This removes "random time" messages flooding dmesg.

  The spew was introduced with v229 commit "core: add new RandomSec=
  setting for time units".
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/744c7693751830149ae78fdaf95c6c6f99d59f07

  trusty based off v204 is not affected.

  xenial based off v229, yakkety based off v231, and zesty based off
  v232 need this fix.

  artful based off v233 has the fix.
