Ok, it seems that wherever I sent my previous note about how I thought this should be fixed, it didn't actually manage to go to the bug log. Sorry about that. While I think the Depends: systemd should be dropped (via a split of the systemd package), that's not required for fixing the present problem. That can be addressed by having gnome-settings-daemon Depends: systemd, systemd-shim | systemd-sysv. Would the GNOME maintainers be willing to upload such a change? Or would they be ok with me NMUing gnome-settings-daemon for it? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
