Bug#753357: Power button broken due to systemd stealthily installed

Package: systemd
Version: 204-8

After a recent upgrade, the power button on my laptop stopped doing
anything useful.

It turned out that a recent upgrade had installed systemd, but without
replacing init with it.  The powerbtn-acpi-support.sh script was detecting
a running systemd-logind, and therefore doing nothing.

Folks, I understand that you're excited about systemd, but this sort of
stealthy pulling in of code is something that really pisses people off.
If I'd rather not be running 150000 lines of code as pid 1, please respect
my wishes.
