Package: login
Version: 1:4.8.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Now that login no longer contains "su", it no longer needs to be an
essential package. A system that doesn't run any getty processes or
other means of logging in (such as a system using only ssh, or a chroot,
or a system with no interactive users at all) may not need to have the
login package installed. It should still have priority "required", and
perhaps "Important: yes" so that apt makes sure the user doesn't remove
it by accident, but it doesn't need "Essential: yes" anymore.
