Package: release-notes
Severity: important

When not using k/g/lightdm the consolekit session is not considered
active which makes many parts of the system unusable.

Reading the bug reports (e.g. http://bugs.debian.org/598150
or http://bugs.debian.org/615020) I do not think this will be fixed
in wheezy.

So please include a paragraph about this in the "Issues to be aware of
for wheezy" chapter that suggests switching dm.

Thanks for your report.  New section added:

+<section id="consolekit">
+  <title>ConsoleKit and alternative display managers</title>
+  <para>
+    ConsoleKit in &debian; &release; does not consider sessions started using
+    <command>startx</command> or display managers lacking <systemitem
+      role="package">consolekit</systemitem> integration (e.g. <systemitem
+      role="package">xdm</systemitem> or <systemitem
+      role="package">slim</systemitem>) as local, which might prevent access to
+    some devices.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    We recommend using one of <systemitem role="package">gdm3</systemitem>,
+    <systemitem role="package">kdm</systemitem> or <systemitem
+      role="package">lightdm</systemitem> instead.
+  </para>
+</section>
+

Cheers,
Julien
