Do you have another suggestions on how to fix the issue for people who
have already upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze?

They will have both /etc/dbus-1/system.d/system-tools-backends.conf and
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.conf on their
system. The former not belonging to any package and not being tracked at
all. But still, its presence will prevent them from using anything from
gnome-system-tools requiring extra privileges.

This fix is mainly targeted at stable.

I am willing to look up any suggestions or cancel the upload if you have
a better idea, but from my tests, writing special handling was the only
way to solve this.

Cheers,
