Hi!
Could you please either take this patch or propose a different approach?
I have received no feedback other than a brief unconclusive remark on IRC.
The clock for Buster is ticking; to get any testing we'd need to act soon.
Not only this approach has been proposed by one of systemd maintainers
(granted, more as a brainstorming than a definitive proposal from your team)
but it also has seen actual testable packages since January.
I admit that my own testing was extremely uneven -- mostly restricted to
environments I personally use -- but as the idea is opt-in for every
depender on libpam-systemd, packages no one claims to have tested simply
won't be usable without systemd. Just like they're right now.
Thus: if package X and Y need APIs that elogind provides, they'd be changed
to:
Depends: default-logind | logind
while package Z that needs a "bring-me-pink-pony" function will not.
Meow!
