Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.105-8
Severity: normal

Lots of stuff depend on policykit and supposedly one is allowed to create systemd if
one wants, however currently policykit depends on libpam-systemd which makes it
impossible to have a meaningful desktop without system.  libpam-systemd should not
be a hard requirement or there should be shim like systemd-shim (which was created
to avoid this type of scenario) which allows installing policykit without installing
systemd.
