lightdm depends on consolekit or libpam-systemd, AFAIK.

If you think the bug is more severe than wishlist, feel free to change
it to "normal" or "important" and communicate to the maintainer why you

systemd becomes the default init, at the same time, other init must be
supported.

It won't happen soon.  Even if it happens, sysv scripts can be added
