I still have concerns about this.
This position seems to be predicated on the assumption that applications
will be able to depend on a working logind for jessie, and that a working
logind will be provided for systems using sysvinit. This apparently works
today with systemd-shim but will stop working with post-205 systemd.
I want to understand whether setting this requirement means that we're
intending to require that jessie ship with systemd 204, or, if not, what
level of certainty we have that post-205 logind will work with sysvinit
for jessie.
