Well, the subject (and also the body) conveyed the wrong message, that systemd
is mandatory in Debian now. Which - as you also said - is wrong, at least for
two reasons: a.) it's logind, not systemd and b.) only desktops are affected.
And, even though the rest of Julians message was as you described, it
attracted two quite flamatory replies at first...

I totally agree with these parts - and while I do think this thread startly
badly I also think it has become a much nicer one by now. Hopefully this is
more like how systemd threads will be in future too ;)
