Reassigning to sysvinit to keep it in sync with the upstream issue.
Also, it makes more sense given that changes should happen in files shipped by sysvinit-utils and sysv-rc.

** Package changed: systemd-shim (Debian) => sysvinit (Debian)

** Package changed: systemd-shim (Ubuntu) => sysvinit (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Daemons are restarted in the current session cgroups

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “sysvinit” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  (forwarded from the relevant bug report raised in Debian BTS and
  adapted for upstart as PID1)

  Daemons which are not spawned via an upstart job (eg. those with
  initscripts, ifupdown hooks and similar) are not detached from the
  current logind session cgroups. This causes the session to linger in
  the closing state until the background processes are either terminated
  or manually moved by root into the root cgroups, so seat ACLs are not
  released.

  A (very crude) workaround on Debian Jessie is using cgm movepidabs /
  $$ to "break out" of the current session before performing any
  administrative action which could result in a daemon (re)start, but
  cgmanager is not installed by default on Trusty and the version of cgm
  shipped with it lacks the movepidabs subcommand (even though the
  MovePidAbs method in the DBus interface does exist).

  Note that this affects anything that uses service, invoke-rc.d,
  ifupdown hooks (like ifup on PPPoE links) or initscripts directly.
  Upstart jobs are not affected because they inherit their cgroup set
  from PID1 (which lives in the root cgroup).

  Nota bene: I'm raising the issue on systemd-shim on advice from its
  maintainer, even though it's unclear at what level this behavior
  should be addressed.
