Package: mate-power-manager Version: 1.20.2-1 Severity: wishlist Hi! Currently, mate-power-manager has the following dependency: systemd | consolekit please change it to: systemd | elogind | consolekit to allow installing and running Mate on non-systemd Linux.
I have no idea about consolekit: it has just been removed, despite being the only option on hurd and kfreebsd -- so the removal might or might not be an omission. For this reason, I wouldn't be hasty here -- but I have no clue about non-Linux. On Linux, until this week, you had to recompile a bunch of packages against consolekit if you wanted a desktop system without a certain pid 1 issue. But if you change this single dependency (and more, but those are hacked around by libpam-elogind-compat from experimental), you can run pure Debian once again. This machine is not a laptop so I could test only suspend and cpufreq, but these work fine.
