[trinity-users] TDE without systemd

I have today installed Debian Sid with TDE R14 on a Dell Inspiron 6400. I am very pleased to find everything (except suspend) seems to work fine with no systemd stuff whatsoever! I have at the moment an older version of dbus (1.5.8-1) .. later versions bring libsystemd-login0 .. and libpulse0 from stable, later versions bring libsystemd0. TDE needs dbus, kaffeine needs libpulse0. These libs may not be a problem anyway. Shutdown works. Usb notification/mounts work, which do not in other DE's without (or even with) systemd. Do TDE users want freedom (as much as is possible) from systemd? Does the TDE team have any particular policy towards systemd dependency? David
