Dear Maintainer,

I just had to create a file in /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/ to override
some defaults because I did not want to touch the original
/etc/systemd/logind.conf file.

After calling mkdir -p /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/ and dropping my file
there, logind took it into account and the override worked perfectly.

My only complain is that I had to create this directory which I believe
the packaging should already do to encourage users to use override files
instead of editing the original file and having to deal with updates
later.

I believe this can be fixed in the Debian packaging by shipping the
folder, hence this bug report. I checked in a forky container and the
directory does not exist there as well with version 262-1.

Thanks,

Agathe.
