Dear Adam, elogind has been in Devuan's radar for quite a while, and I guess will become a priority just after ASCII gets out. I have not studied it in depth, but my understanding is that the most promising path would be to let it become a drop-in replacement to systemd-logind, e.g. by letting it Provides: SOMETHING. This is somwhow different from the case of udev/eudev since there is no independent Debian package (so far) for logind, and I don't know if there is a specific capability that can be used in a Provides: . Maybe you have a better knowledge on that.
