Agreed, maybe we should increase #747535 to RC level again? Perhaps
this is something for the CTTE to consider.

This is the essence of this issue: Default but not mandatory.

Regarding mate desktop policykit-1 build-depends on libsystemd-login-dev
only for linux-any. What functionality is missing for other
architectures? What about libselinux for policykit-1, this dependency is

*dont* want systemd on their computers, I'm not alone here.
