And that's basically the only problem. elogind in buster uses a separate libelogind which makes it immune to the libsystemd alternative problem that haunts unstable. That makes grabbing libpam-elogind-compat or bolting it upon buster's libpam-elogind enough to satisfy dependencies. I don't remember if that's enough or not for policykit-1 to work adequately, though. > If you wish to use elogind, either be prepared to do > unspeakably evil things (such as editing the internal > dpkg status database, which I did to great success on > an RPi last week) or upgrade to unstable (in which the > only missing piece polkit-qt is). Editing dpkg status is bad. An equivs package (which libpam-elogind-compat essentially is) is a much cleaner option.
