I already did this before. Anyway, xserver-xorg-core 21.1.7-1 does not work.

# dpkg -l|grep elogind 
ii  elogind                                                     246.10-5                               amd64        user, seat and session management daemon
ii  libelogind-compat:amd64                                     246.10-5                               amd64        user, seat and session management library compatibility
ii  libelogind0:amd64                                           246.10-5                               amd64        user, seat and session management library
