I'm still not sure whether help is really needed here. The upstream author seems
ok to provide the changes required (the symlink following thing) so maybe it'd
be just a matter of poking him about the issue.

Is the problem that logind/libpam-systemd somehow conflict with consolekit? If
so, can't libpam-systemd just "Breaks: consolekit packages"? I've never really
understood the whole ConsoleKit/PolicyKit/WhateverKit thing though.

The XDG_RUNTIME_DIR thing seems a separate issue to me, but there appear to be
working patches to fix that. In fact, I think it has already been fixed
upstream (commit baae035).

What about #724796? Was my suggestion correct?

Cheers
