Here is my draft, just committed to git. I'm open to suggestions for changes. If we can't agree on the rationale I guess we could leave it out.
Ian. Rationale (Constitution 6.1(5)): 1. Currently libpam-systemd (which is pulled in by quite a few dependency chains) Depends on `systemd-sysv | systemd-shim'. 2. The effect of this is that installing certain leaf packages which depend on libpam-systemd can cause a user's init system to be switched to systemd, even on systems where a user has deliberately chosen not to use the default init system, and even when the switch is unnecessary. 3. Swappping the order of these dependencies would avoid that and has no harmful effect. Decision (Constitution 6.1(4)): 4. We therefore overrule the decision of the maintainer of libpam-systemd binary package. The Depends entry systemd-sysv | systemd-shim (>= 8-2) should be replaced by systemd-shim (>= 8-2) | systemd-sysv Release (Constitution 6.1(5)): 5. We request that the Release Team allow this change to into jessie. (This request should be conveyed to the Release Team, after the change is in unstable, by filing an unblock request in the usual way.) -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-ctte-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
