It could also be true that it has been there all along and I somehow missed seeing it, although I’ve installed Wheezy many times and that seems unlikely.


I looked it up in packages.debian.org.
systemd-login0 is in both wheezy and wheezy-backports, with different
version numbers.

It is deprecated in jessie and sid, and rc-buggy in experimental.

It is not in squeeze.

My guess is that it got into squeeze long ago, in the days of
systemd-innocence.

Is there any way to track the history of a package and its adoption
into different releases?
