The Technical Committee was asked in bug #883573 to revisit the decision taken
bug #746578 (libpam-systemd alternative dependencies ordering to avoid init
system changes accross dist-upgrades).
=== Resolution ===
In 2014, it was resolved in #746578 that the libpam-systemd binary package
alternative dependency on systemd-shim and systemd-sysv shall be set in that
order, in order to avoid unwanted init system changes accross upgrades. Debian
Stretch has since been released.
The Committee therefore resolves that:
1. The Technical Commitee decision from 2014-11-15 in bug #746578 is repealed.
This means Debian's normal policies and practices take over and the
libpam-systemd package's dependencies are set free from specific ordering
constraints. The migration should be managed according to Debian's usual
backwards-compatibility arrangements.
=== End Resolution ===
