  * Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - debian/patches/07_pam_environment.patch: set process environment
      from pam_getenvlist().
    - debian/patches/01_pam_polkit.patch: adjust patch to invoke pam_env, so
      our global settings from /etc/environment are applied correctly.
    - Switch to using logind for session tracking. Depend on libpam-systemd
      instead of consolekit, and add libsystemd-login-dev build dependency.
    - debian/policykit-1.postinst: Don't restart polkitd if we are upgrading
      from a version that uses ConsoleKit. We need to keep the old daemon
      running until the next reboot, as all the current user sessions still
      have a CK session and no logind cgroup yet.
