** Description changed:

  Impact
  ------
  There is a 90 second timeout delay during the upgrade to gnome-remote-desktop 
(as in the upgrade from Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS or 23.10 to 24.04 LTS)
  
  More Details
  ------------
  This SRU replaces the "automatic" postinst rules from dh_installsysusers and 
dh_installtmpfiles with custom postint rules that ensure that the sysusers and 
tmpfiles commands are run before dbus is reloaded. This is similar to what 
polkitd.postinst does but the new gnome-remote-desktop postinst is much simpler 
than what polkitd does.
  
  dh_installsysusers also adds
  Depends: systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers | systemd-sysusers.
  (It appears like dh_installtmpfiles does not add similar dependencies).
  
  Because we only support systemd, I have manually added:
- Depends: systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers | systemd-sysusers,
-          systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers | systemd-tmpfiles
+ Depends: systemd | systemd-sysusers,
+          systemd | systemd-tmpfiles
  
  Test Case
  ---------
  From Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 LTS:
  1. sudo apt remove gnome-remote-desktop
  2. sudo systemctl stop gnome-remote-desktop
  3. sudo deluser gnome-remote-desktop
  4. sudo rm -fr /etc/gnome-remote-desktop /var/lib/gnome-remote-desktop
  
  Those steps will undo adding the user that systemd-sysusers is
  configured to add and undo adding the directories that systemd-tmpfiles
  adds.
  
  Then install the update. Verify that the update happens at normal speed
  without a long delay before completion.
  
  Alternate Test Case (Not Required)
  -----------------------------------
  You could do an upgrade from 23.10 to 24.04 LTS but it requires much more 
time and attention to verify that there isn't an arbitrary delay while apt 
configures gnome-remote-desktop. Therefore, the other test case is recommended.
  
  What Could Go Wrong
  -------------------
  If a postinst command fails, then the system can be unable to finish 
installing gnome-remote-desktop. This can be a pain to clean up. In this case, 
the commands are protected by " || true".
  
  Other Info
  ----------
  This issue is a follow-up for LP: #2063333 In that bug, gnome-remote-desktop 
wouldn't work at all for upgraders.
  
  This bugfix is being bundled with a new upstream release with more
  testing LP: #2072771
