Dear Maintainer,

Jsut a comment about obession package. I run a minimal setup without systemd, consolekit and policykit. Whereas obession works without them, it loose a lot of its interestinf features. No halt, no reboot, so I think, either 

- at least mark systemd or consolekit as recommendes packages

- add a "legacy" fallback features to you package that send "shutdown" or "halt" commands.

Thanks for this. Sorry for the delay!

obsession is not forked in Devuan and we use Debian's packages directly without
recompilation so you need to request this on Debian's BTS.
