Well yeah, you need either that or something ABI-compatible.  It's an insane
idea to divert a library depended upon by base system tools, but that's what
the maintainers demanded.

Let's say "want" is not the proper word here.  But alas, the functionality
of anything desktop related, and not only, is severely diminished without
having a logind implementation installed; thus having no elogind is not a
real option for most users.  You can't even shutdown from a GUI, and I think
X requires logind to get keyboard/mouse events in the default configuration
these days (been a while since I looked).
