[Bug 1302331] [NEW] org.freedesktop.login1.service references non-existant systemd-logind-launcher, gdm will not start

[Mercury]

Public bug reported:

debian/patches/debian-changes alters
systemd-204/src/login/org.freedesktop.login1.service to exec
/lib/systemd/systemd-logind-launch, instead of /bin/false.

systemd-logind-launch is in debian/, and the override_dh_install rule in
debian/rules does an install.

Sadly, systemd-logind-launch is not listed in systemd-services.install,
so it does not actually get built into the package.

The result is a Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 installation which will sit on the
booting screen indefinitely, with gdm refusing to start.

This was not happening in 204-5ubuntu13, and is happening in
204-5ubuntu16.

Manually copiing systemd-logind-launch from the source package to
/lib/systemd results in a booting system once more.

(Well, you could alawys switch VTs and login that way, but that is not
all that useful for most people.)

The correct fix appears to simply be adding lib/system/systemd-logind-
launch to debian/systemd/services.install in the source package.
