Title:
  Removing libpam-systemd (without purge) breaks system

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “systemd” source package in Raring:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If libpam-systemd is removed, without purging configuration files,
  then it will break gdm/gnome-shell and quite probably any other
  package that does runtime detection of logind.

  This is due to the leftover upstart script still being run, which
  creates various folders that make it look like logind is installed and
  running.
