Bug#854985: kodi.service spamming the logs due to xinit being missing

[Gábor]

Package: kodi
Version: 2:17.0+dfsg1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Since the latest round of updates, kodi.service spams syslog with:

Feb 12 22:14:35 zephyr systemd[1]: kodi.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart.
Feb 12 22:14:35 zephyr systemd[1]: Stopped Kodi Open Source Home Theatre.
Feb 12 22:14:35 zephyr systemd[1]: Started Kodi Open Source Home Theatre.
Feb 12 22:14:35 zephyr systemd[17588]: kodi.service: Failed at step USER spawning /usr/bin/xinit: No such process
Feb 12 22:14:35 zephyr systemd[1]: kodi.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=217/USER
Feb 12 22:14:35 zephyr systemd[1]: kodi.service: Unit entered failed state.
Feb 12 22:14:35 zephyr systemd[1]: kodi.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

If Kodi really needs xinit, then the package should depend on it. xinit
is rather old-fashioned, and is no longer generally useful if one runs
one of the "big" desktop environments, so nothing should assume it just
exists.

Actually, I don't think this service should be automatically enabled at
all. I do not want to run kodi in stand-alone mode.
