    We dropped the logind restart in systemd_226-4 for now and the xserver-xorg-core package gained a Breaks against older systemd versions.

    This is not a real fix yet, but it should be sufficient to not be RC.

    Thus downgrading to important. We still should change both logind and
    Xorg so logind can be restarted safely without wreaking havoc.

    Upstream logind/systemd has been fixed so it can be restarted safely
    now, see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/5600

    This change is in systemd v234.
    I suggest that we ship a patch that reverts [1] and xserver-xorg bumps
    the breaks against systemd to << 234.

    I don't want to ship a debian-specific patch for this. Is there a way
    for Xorg to detect logind has that bug fix?

    Thanks,
    Julien
