[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#747619: lightdm: Please consider weakening consolekit dependency

[post at ralfj.de (Ralf Jung)]

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.10.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

lightdm is the one and only remaining package on my system depending on consolekit.
As all the session applications do not need consolekit anymore (they are happy to use
systemd-logind instead), there's no point in lightdm setting up consolekit sessions.
It also seems that lightdm itself can work fine without consolekit, as the Ubuntu
lightdm package does not have this dependency anymore.

Therefore, I would appreciate if you could relax the consolekit dependency to a
"Recommands: consolekit", or to something like "Depends: consolekit | libpam-systemd".

Kind regards
Ralf
