But it is not simple to assign this to a particular package. It's a bug which is the result of the relations between many packages. But in order to get it fixed, we're going to have to file a bug *somewhere*.
I'm smart enough to understand that a desktop environment (or a cd burner) depending on a particular init system doesn't make sense. But I have not yet figured out which package to file a bug with. I suspect the package maintainers are smart enough to realize this as well, but maybe they have not noticed this unreasonable dependency is a result of their choices. So what should be our plan to get this addressed? -Rob
