Bug#923199: it's already Recommends, but please support elogind

It already _is_ "Recommends".

I guess the submitter got confused by apt's handling which indeed acts as if
the dependency was absolute if there's any way to satisfy the Recommends,
and failing with a wrong message if there's a hold or pin.

But, since recently there's a way:
Change:
  Recommends: libpam-systemd
to
  Recommends: default-logind | logind

which is satisfied by libpam-systemd and libpam-elogind.  It'd be nice if it
could apply this.


Meow!
