I'm not an expert on session or console management, but seeing how XDM
has managed to work without consolekit for the last 25 years, I have a
hard time believing either consolekit or logind are the only option if
you want to implement a display manager.
They probably aren't. However, they are, as I understand it, the only
options that GNOME has any support for whatsoever. Adding support for
some third option might be possible, but I'm dubious that's realistic
for
a jessie release timeframe.
