Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * There's currently a deadlock between PID 1 and dbus-daemon: in some
  cases dbus-daemon will do NSS lookups (which are blocking) at the same
  time PID 1 synchronously blocks on some call to dbus-daemon (e.g. `GetConnectionUnixUser` DBus call). Let's break
  that by setting SYSTEMD_NSS_DYNAMIC_BYPASS=1 env var for dbus-daemon,
  which will disable synchronously blocking varlink calls from nss-systemd
  to PID 1.

   * This can lead to delayed boot times

   * It can also lead to dbus-daemon being killed/re-started, taking
  down other services with it, like GDM, killing user sessions on the
  way (e.g. on installing updates)

  [Test Plan]

   * This bug is really hard to reproduce, as can be seen from the
  multi-year long discussion at
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/15316

   * Canonical's CPC team has the ability to reproduce  this issue (with
  a relatively high probability) in their Azure test environment, due to
  the specific setup they are using

   * So our test plan is to ask CPC (@gjolly) for confirmation if the
  issue is fixed.

  [Where problems could occur]

   * This fix touches the communication between systemd and dbus daemon,
  especially the NSS lookup, so if something is broken the (user-)name
  resolution could be broken.

   * As a workaround dbus-daemon could be replaced by dbus-broker, which
  never showed this issue or the behaviour could be changed back by
  using the `SYSTEMD_NSS_DYNAMIC_BYPASS` env variable, like this:

  #/etc/systemd/system/dbus.service.d/override.conf
  [Service]
  Environment=SYSTEMD_NSS_DYNAMIC_BYPASS=0

  [Other Info]
   
   * Fixed upstream (v251) in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/22552

  
  === Original Description ===


  
  This morning I found my computer on the login screen.
  But not the one of the screen log, no a new one - so something must have crashed.

  Logging in again confirmed that all apps were gone and the gnome shell
  was brought down what seems like triggered by a background update o
  accountsservice.

  As always things are not perfectly clear :-/
  The following goes *back* in time through my logs one by one.

  Multiple apps crashed at 06:09, but we will find later that this is a follow on issue of the underlying gnome/X/... recycling.
  -rw-r-----  1 paelzer  whoopsie 52962868 Apr  8 06:09 _usr_bin_konversation.1000.crash
  -rw-r-----  1 paelzer  whoopsie   986433 Apr  8 06:09 _usr_lib_x86_64-linux-gnu_libexec_drkonqi.1000.crash

  rdkit was failing fast and giving up (that will be a different bug, it just seems broken on my system):
  Apr 08 06:10:13 Keschdeichel systemd[1]: Started RealtimeKit Scheduling Policy Service.
  Apr 08 06:10:13 Keschdeichel rtkit-daemon[1729333]: Successfully called chroot.

  But that already was only triggered by a gnome restart that kicked of
  earlier:

  Apr 08 06:09:27 Keschdeichel systemd[1726656]: Started GNOME Shell on Wayland.
  Apr 08 06:09:27 Keschdeichel systemd[1726656]: Reached target GNOME Shell on Wayland.

  X was recycleing before:

  Apr 08 06:09:22 Keschdeichel /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[10710]: (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

  It seems like some internal service broke and everything that followed was a secondary issue to that:

  The last things before was systemd reload - maybe due to a background
  upgrade?

  And indeed there was an upgrade going on:
