This patch was merged upstream. See
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/merge_requests/150
Would be great if this patch could be applied for buster. This would
mean I could add the logind to systemd's postinst in buster+1.
If we don't get this Xorg fix into buster, we'd have to wait another
full release cycle.
Julien, in case you are busy, I could offer to NMU.
WDYT?

Michael
