Package: systemd
Version: 239-7
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
On a busy server, systemd-logind spams the logs with lots and lots of
messages about user sessions.
These are not interactive sessions --- they're started by cron
from watchdog and backup servers. But I see:

or similar every few seconds in the logs. The default behaviour should be
to be silent unless there's something wrong. Plus, it seems to be doing a lot
of work that's unnecessary for a non-interactive ssh-initiated session.
