[bug#56859] [PATCH] gnu: xdg-desktop-portal-wlr: Change elogind to basu for sd-bus.

[muradm]

Hi,

Regarding switching, I don't think it is very straight forward
to switch elogind with basu. Issue is that elogind "also" includes
sd-bus. Dependents may require either sd-bus and/or other parts
of elogind. Those who require sd-bus only to interface with bus
could be switched to basu gradually. Most likely this will be
suitable for "minimalist" applications.

I.e. basu is a drop-in replacement for those require sd-bus only,
but not whole elogind.

Thanks in advance,
muradm
