Package: login Version: 1:4.8.1-1 Severity: wishlist Now that login no longer contains "su", it no longer needs to be an essential package. A system that doesn't run any getty processes or other means of logging in (such as a system using only ssh, or a chroot, or a system with no interactive users at all) may not need to have the login package installed. It should still have priority "required", and perhaps "Important: yes" so that apt makes sure the user doesn't remove it by accident, but it doesn't need "Essential: yes" anymore.
