+
+Good catch. Seems like it should be asking logind for this info these days.
+
+I think Gnome asks logind directly rather than going via upower, but if
+the interface exists it should work!

+
+Cool. I'll take a look and see what is needed here.

+
+Well I believe their plan is still to remove it, so let's see if we can
+help this process along. If it's not possible before mga3, then yeah,
+adding the require back to upower makes sense (perhaps even with a
+stripped down pm-utils package).
