CCing Adam, who suggested the default-logind | logind part of this; I know very little about elogind myself. I can see how an "artificial" dependency like this might make sense to avoid libpam-systemd being pulled in for people who aren't using systemd, though, even if other logind implementations don't provide the same session registration features. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]]
