Subject: Requires systemd functionality on sysvinit+logind systems

Package: upower
Version: 0.9.21-1
Severity: normal

Since we want to use systemd-logind everywhere, also on sysvinit, as a
replacement for ConsoleKit, it will be running, even if PID 1 != systemd.

upower now defers Suspend calls to logind, if logind is running.

Under systemd, this means activating the suspend.target. This obviously
fails under sysvinit.

We'll need an equivalent implementation like systemd-shim [1] for
sysvinit systems on Debian.

The systemd-shim package from Ubuntu only needs minor modifications to be
useful for Debian. It needs to
1/ drop the Conflicts against systemd
2/ use a different name for the D-Bus config file
3/ divert the org.freedesktop.systemd1.service D-Bus service file from
systemd, until we have figured out if we want/can drop that file from
systemd.

We also have to make sure that systemd-shim is installed on sysvinit
systems, so we'll have to decide which packages should pull that in.
Maybe upower itself should depend on *both* systemd (systemd-services on
Ubuntu) and systemd-shim.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Since systemd-shim already borrows code from systemd and there is
noticable duplication, we might just as well ship the tiny systemd-shim
daemon (24K) within systemd and build it from the systemd sources.

4/ systemd-shim also needs to support /lib/systemd/systemd-sleep scripts [1]

Hello Michael,

since a lot of things happened with systemd(-shim) in the last year, I 
want to ask you, if this bug report:

  http://bugs.debian.org/718493

is still valid?

*t

PS: Don't bother replying if my question is stupid, I'm just pinging all
    upower bugreports that seem possibly not valid any more, to see if
    they really are.
