If you intend the scope of this bug to involve overruling maintainers'

I understand (but I don't think it has been explicitly stated) that the
TC is going to decline to overrule on the question of init scripts?[0]
I'm going to beg that question for the rest of this mail, but obviously
if I'm wrong that will increase the scope somewhat.
Please overrule the maintainer in #923387 so that it is can be used on
systems with elogind; it has been tested and shown to work thus as well
as being supported by upstream[1].
Mark tells us that there are not currently any other packages which
could be used with elogind were it not for an incorrect dependency on
libpam-systemd, so I hope we don't need to worry about the broader
question any further.

[0] to that end, orphan-sysvinit-scripts is in NEW, and while I hope
your ruling will not result in a bonfire of perfectly good init scripts,
I hope that maintainers who decide to ditch them will let us know so we
can add them there
[1] I've not restated my rationale about how technologies like elogind
are important to the project per GR etc etc. I can if you like, but I
don't think that's necessary here
