Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.89-2+deb9u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have some systemd --user services from other packages.
The units are located in /etc/systemd/user/ or /usr/lib/systemd/user/
and enabled on installing.

When a daemon uses su or sudo on debian, it starts a service
user@$UID.service which is a systemd-daemon for the user-session. This
sessions are normally not started for Daemons with UID below 1000
(except Debian-gdm).

I asked on the systemd-mailinglist, whats the problem, because sometimes
exim starts an user-session (and with this the user-services which are
thought for login-users with UID greater-equal 1000).
They told me, there must be the use of su or sudo in some scripts from
the daemon.
I looked around and found, that there is su used in
/etc/cron.daily/exim4-base 

You find my changes below to use runuser instead of su, which solves the
problems comming from the su-command.

Best regards

Jakob
