Will systemd-shim work once logind is upgraded to 208? My understanding is that 208 will be going into unstable soon. We certainly want to have 208 (and, actually, something later than that) for jessie. If systemd-shim is 208-ready, then yes, this is appealing for the reasons that you describe. If it's not ready yet, we should probably hold off on making this sort of change until it is, since otherwise dependencies would be satisfied but the resulting system wouldn't actually *work* properly. (Alternately, we could block 208 from coming into unstable until systemd-shim is ready, but I'm a bit dubious that's a good idea.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
