Bug#950370: lightdm forces installation of systemd by removing consolekit as possible dependency option

[Wilco Baan Hofman <wilco@baanhofman.nl>]

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.26.0-4
Severity: important

Hi, this version is working correctly:

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.26.0-4
Depends: adduser, dbus, logind | consolekit, lightdm-gtk-greeter | lightdm-
greeter, lsb-base (>= 3.0-6), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, libaudit1 (>=
1:2.2.1), libc6 (>= 2.14), libgcrypt20 (>= 1.7.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.39.4),
libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1), libxcb1, libxdmcp6
Description-en: simple display manager
 An X display manager that:
  * Is standards compliant (PAM, ConsoleKit, etc)

..
This version does not work correctly and tries to break my system:

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.26.0-6+b1
Depends: adduser, dbus, libpam-systemd | logind, lightdm-gtk-greeter | lightdm-
greeter, lsb-base (>= 3.0-6), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, libaudit1 (>=
1:2.2.1), libc6 (>= 2.14), libgcrypt20 (>= 1.7.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.39.4),
libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1), libxcb1, libxdmcp6
Description-en: simple display manager
 An X display manager that:
  * Is standards compliant (PAM, ConsoleKit, etc)

The optional dependency for consolekit has been silently dropped and replaced
with another systemd package (consolekit replaced by libpam-systemd?). Please
keep ConsoleKit as satisfying this dependency, otherwise it'll break my system
by depending directly on the systemd package (including dependency on systemd-
sysv for libpam-systemd).
