Upstream (I think most Bastien) strongly refuses to include that patches, should we send you via mail to release team? (I can try to find the bugs again and CC you there, but you will only see those closed as WONTFIX because we aren't supposed to disable that support (colord, networkmanager, kerberos...)

Then, it will also need systemd to be running as systemd >= 205 cannot have logind working alone. > Most of the development was done within ConsoleKit, now mostly done > within systemd.

Ubuntu people made a huge effort to let logind work with Upstart running, but that will only work for <=204 version.
