Hi,
in the last week there have been three bug reports (#731426, #731602,
#731686) concerning the same problem as described in this bug: Gnome
depends on systemd being PID 1 for suspend/hibernate/reboot/poweroff to
fully work in all menus.
Each of these bug reports was against a different package, so the
reporters did not find an existing report on the issue.
I think that the gnome package in its current state should at least
recommend systemd-sysv, since this package (or the boot parameter
'init=/bin/systemd') "would be found together with this one in all but
unusual installations" [0].
The problem with this is that systemd-sysv replaces sysvinit, which is
an essential Debian package, thus systemd-sysv cannot be a dependency,
at least until the technical committee has decided on the init system
issue (#727708).

It seems that this notification is either not yet added, or normal users
do not find it, as they are still confused and report bugs about the
issue. So please add this notification in a prominent place to avoid
countless duplicates of this bug report.
Best regards,
Andreas
