Sure, it's a good feature to have in a debian system, very useful and all. But the way I see it, this could lead to debian packages becoming developers playground, with maintainers (and others) adding feature of the week randomly into unstable packages, just because they find it useful.
Too late, this already happens with a lot of packages :) If a hack isn't good enough for upstream, but it's nice, it's good enough for debian. IMHO, debian is more about packaging than about coding per se. Such a feature should go upstream. Now, it may be decided that proper shutdown at logout is essential for debian to have. But it should stay relatively exceptional. Exceptional like having a Documents button added to the file selector? (I've grown used to the buttons now.) Jim
