Andrew,

Thanks for this. You have been folowwing this area more closely than me. 

I believe the original impetus to remove libsystemd linkage from procps 
was to reduce libsystemd infiltration into 'core' utilities. 

Devuan systems without elogind are viable (I use sway/seatd as my daily 
driver) so just adding elogind support to procps isn't a universal 
solution.

Do you have a suggestion or idea as to a way forward?

Mark
