Yes, I also noticed this and filed bugs for them where there were none. login's Priority: required hides this problem somewhat. Most of the bugs are fixed, still open TTBOMK: * weston #1140097 - done in exp * greetd #1140127 not sure where the replies went, but I got a reply from the maintainer they're looking into it > I wonder if we should add a lintian rule that can detect this.
