Package: gnome-settings-daemon Version: 3.8.5-2 Severity: normal
Hi. gnome-settings-daemon depends on systemd now,... While I think systemd IS the future, it is not yet the default in Debian, neither does it work in all circumstances yet (AFAIK, there are e.g. still issues with dm-crypt). Of course, just installint systemd, doesn't replace sysvinit as init, nevertheless,... 1) systemd brings a lot of stuff which will get active, even when just installing it and not installing systemd-sysv. udev rules, polkit and dbus stuff and more. So the question arises, when gnome forces people now to install systemd, does this cause any side effects? And even more,... as you say you depend now on systemd, does that functionality work, when it is not actually used. So short question... couldn't systemd be made voluntary for now? Or even better: forever. Even when systemd should become default in debian, people still might want to use alternatives. A desktop environment shouldn't force users upon such low level stuff like the init- system,... what comes next? Forcing us to use a special kernel? IMHO this would be broken by design.
