Missing session options in LightDM | Bullseye OpenRC

[Fabian Schaar]

Hey there,

my name is Fabian, today I installed Bullseye and wanted to replace
systemd by an alternative init system through the installation process
(d-i), so I followed the instructions described in
https://wiki.debian.org/Init. After installing the desktop task and
GRUB, I opened a shell and putapt install sysvinit-core libpam-elogind
into the chroot (/target). Then it installed sysvinit and removed
important parts of systemd. Then the system booted fine with sysvinit,
however, when I tried to manage services with sysvinit, the output was
that systemd-logind (or something like that) was running. So I decided
to install the openrc package which was the longterm plan after all.
This seems to work fine now mostly, unfortunable, I can not
reboot/poweroff the computer through LightDM now as I could when using
systemd. Is there a way to fix it? Keep in mind that the openrc
installation might miss something, currently I manually installed the
following packages related to alternative init systems:

* sysvinit-core
* libpam-elogind
* openrc

+ dependencies resolved automatically

I really don't know if this here is the right mailing list for that
topic, but I hope so.

     Best regards,
     Fabian Schaar
