contrib: debian: depending on the setup, a user may not need elogind

You can also use a standard [/etc/rc.local](rc.local) for one-shot tasks
and initialization like keyboard language etc.
If you want to use the X Window system, `sudo apt install elogind`
(Bullseye and later). Followed by `initctl reload` (enabled by default)
and logout/login again. The elogind daemon ensures a regular non-root
user can start and interact with an X session, otherwise keyboard and
mouse won't work. When you're happy, you can enable the lightdm.conf,
change the default runlevel to 3, and presto! you have a desktop again.
