tsimonq2, I have subscribed ubuntu-release. We have modifications in our
PPA that utilize this patch to accountsservice. If the patch to
accountsservice is not merged in Ubuntu's version, our version will be
overridden when there is another accountsservice release.

Since this is a feature that is desired in Ubuntu, I think it would be
best to allow for the patch to accountsservice to be merged in for use
by others, regardless of the patches to gnome-control-center or gnome-
initial-setup. At the moment, we have a safely forked version of these
packages that cannot be overridden.

The issue with accountservice, is that it cannot be forked, renamed, and
then use a Provides Conflicts Replaces. This leaves us in a dangerous
place where we may have to revert our changes to add encrypted home to
gnome-control-center and gnome-initial-setup.
