:) not quite. Installation issues, specific Debian software
configuration, APT issues, upgrade issues, to name just a few.

Debating systemd on debian-user is like a blunt pencil (pointless!)

Asking specific questions about systemd configuration in Debian is spot
on for debian-user. 

There is sometimes a fine line between whether a question should be on
debian-user or an upstream support channel, e.g. a question about
send-hook syntax in mutt belongs on the mutt-users list, whereas a
question regarding character display *may* be a locales issue and
therefore should be posted to debian-user.

Of course, an absolute beginner wouldn't necessarily have the 'nouse' to
troubleshoot whether the question belongs on mutt-users or debian-user.
