Sure, it's a good feature to have in a debian system, very useful and
all. But the way I see it, this could lead to debian packages becoming
developers playground, with maintainers (and others) adding feature of
the week randomly into unstable packages, just because they find it
useful.
IMHO, debian is more about packaging than about coding per se. Such a
feature should go upstream. Now, it may be decided that proper shutdown
at logout is essential for debian to have. But it should stay relatively
exceptional.
