[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#717365: systemd: Please make the logind libraries priority: optional

[Matthias Klumpp]

Source: systemd
Version: 204-1
Severity: normal

Hi!
Since logind is the replacement for ConsoleKit and now prferred by a large
number of upstreams, packages (with priority: optional) start to depend on it's
libraries.
These are, for example   pulseaudio, packagekit, gvfs, dbus, colord etc.
By Debian policy, packages with higher priority must not depend on packages
with lower priority, and the logind library libsystemd-login0 has Priority:
extra.
Can you please make the package optional, so that packages which depend on it
no longer violate the policy?
(It might make sense to make the systemd source pkg optional, and explicitly
mark the systemd and systemd-sysv packages as extra)
Kind regards,
    Matthias
