How is that a KaOS or packaging issue, this as upstream ships? Or do you mean there was no issue with systemd 244-2, but see it now with 244-3 (only change is a sed line for systemd-boot colors).
And please don't necrobump old, irrelevant and solved threads, there was no systemd 244 in 2018, split off for you this time, but in the future start a new thread yourself.
