Control: reassign 726763 gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-2
Control: severity 726763 important

Hi,

I tested systemd-shim and, using it, suspend etc. from GNOME menus work agin with sysvinit/upstart.

So to resolve this bug, GNOME should depend on:
systemd-shim | systemd-sysv

This ordering ensures that installing GNOME does not switch the init system, but since it works with systemd as PID 1, the dependency can also be satisfied by systemd-sysv.

The best place to add this new dependency seems the gnome-settings-daemon, since it directly depends on systemd, which is not enough to provide the necessary working dbus interfaces. Since gdm3 depends on gnome-settings-daemon, this will solve the issue in gdm3 menus as well.

I think that according to policy [1] systemd-shim should be Priority: optional and not extra, because gnome-settings-daemon is optional and packages must not depend on packages with lower priority.

Furthermore I changed the severity to important as I think this bug has a 'major effect on the usability' [2].

Best regards,
Andreas
