Package: debianutils
Version: 2.8.4
Severity: wishlist

In /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession and /etc/X11/Xsession there is some scripting
designed to list run-parts style scripts in a directory that need to
be sourced. Next to this code is the following comment;

# until run-parts --noexec is implemented

The scripts need to be sourced, not executed, because they rely on and
set environment variables that are not exported.

It looks like lessdisks will also need this functionality, and I'm
sure others could benefit from it.

It is possible to use --test to list the scripts and source them in a
for loop, but --noexec would be nicer.
