And, since I've been informed that this was basically a contentless bug, I'd like to frame the technical half of the question better: Whereas: * the init system / pid 1 is a bit of software that multiple packages provide * the choice of init system also dictates which types of init scripts package maintainers write and maintain * the situation in which packages depend on a feature of systemd that's not dependent on pid 1 being systemd (such as dbus shutdown, or using logind) being run without systemd as pid1 is *not* something the systemd maintainers will support (fairly) is getting *more* common, and has been introduced into a major package (GNOME) It is requested that the tech-ctte make a decision as to the init system Debian shall use as the default, and make a judgement call on where the efforts to resolve this situation shall go (patching *around* the lack of systemd, or patching software to use systemd) I believe this is within the ctte's jurisdiction, given 6.1 section 2.
