But Balint, reassigning that bug to elogind won't help Thorsten, nor 
me, nor anyone else using another init.

Is that a poor upstream decision?  Isn't there a way to package 
wireshark with that troublesome filter in a separate package?  After 
all, _nothing_ should depend on the init system choice.
