Thanks for the heads-up!

I have a pending MR for fixing this bug on phog's side (see 
https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/phog/-/merge_requests/5), 
however this would require small changes to greetd as well (+cc duck for 
that matter) to ensure users don't end up in a messed up situation.

I opened a MR on salsa's greetd 
(https://salsa.debian.org/debian/greetd/-/merge_requests/1), attaching 
the corresponding patches here as well for completeness.

@duck, any comment on the above?

Cheers,
Arnaud
