Having support for utmp is nice to have indeed, but that's all. That makes it incompatible with killer package, too bad. But it *doesnt* “breaks unrelated software”. Actually someone could also just say killer breaks unrelated software by killing innocent processes. In turns that makes lightdm useless in Debian Edu, that's unfortunate, but that So again, no need to inflate severity. We'll have a look at it, but don't hold your breath. Regards, -- Yves-Alexis
