What you say makes sense on its own terms but I feel confused now.

elogind works on FreeBSD, right ?  Where there are no cgroups.  So how
are we still depending on cgroups ?

Also, we have had (several, I think?) test reports saying that this
elogind package works with Debian sid/buster.  Presumably without
doing anything to polkit.

I haven't tried it myself, though.
