Package: xss-lock
Version: 0.3.0-2
Severity: minor

Hi,

I installed this package for a simple purpose: people on internet tell
that it's usable to make automatic locking with systemd (systemctl suspend).

What people often don't tell is how to configure it to work that way. I
had to check Debian Wiki to find out that I have to run it inside of the
Xsession.
https://wiki.debian.org/SystemdSuspendSedation

That's not really obvious! And it's also not clearly documented, i.e. I
cannot find a simple hint in README.Debian or in the manpage. The
manpage tells the story on how it's implemented but when user comes with
a different focus in mind (how to react to systemd, not some X11 events
or whatever) then it's not clear at all.

Please change that. And please also consider adding into
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/ , maybe with some debconf switch.

Regards,
Eduard.
