Hi!
You've just changed Depends from
    logind | consolekit
to
    libpam-systemd | logind

I assume that you missed the new Policy -- discussed and approved before
Buster, released as a package a few days ago.  It standardizes the above
dependency as:
    default-logind | logind
which it would be nice if you could change to.

I'm filing as wishlist as there _currently_ are no functional differences
in Debian proper; it matters only because:
 * derivatives wouldn't need to patch this package
 * libpam-systemd's packaging may change as it has multiarch issues


Thanks for your work so far!  Meow.

Yes. To be fair, the change was proposed and integrated before the release,
but we didn't upload during the freeze. Something might have changed between
the first proposal and the final policy.

Sure, I'll add that locally and it'll be part of the next upload (not sure
when it'll happen though).

Is default-logind [linux-any] as well?

I don't think of any logind implementations for non-Linux, so a hard
dependency would need to be qualified, yeah.


Meow!
