That bugreport is regarding an optional dependency for the power handling. It is correct that Ubuntu will switch from ConsoleKit to logind, so it does make sense to either maintain ConsoleKit or use logind. But it still is an optional dependency. I do agree with https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464944#c11 (probably easier for all to just use it, it does not require systemd to be the init). -- Regards, Olav
