[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#923240: policykit-1: Please support alternative logind implementations

[Mark Hindley]

Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.105-25
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainers,

elogind is an alternative Dbus login1 implementation for systems not running
systemd as pid 1. It is in buster.

For desktops to be installable on such systems, policykit-1 needs to depend on
the newly approved virtual packages default-logind and logind. In the latest
upload of src:systemd, libpam-systemd provides default-logind.

The necessary patch is:

    Depend on new vitual packages default-logind and logind.

There is a separate issue about backend support for elogind. I will open a separate
bug for that.

Thanks
