policykit-1 and libpolkit-agent-1-0 from sid work fine, you need to have 
configured libvirt to work with polkit correctly

/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/ with polkit config files eg;

org.libvirt.unix.manage.pkla contains (notice the filename ending 
(.pkla) as we have polkit 0.105 in sid currently, after 0.106 the ending 
is not required)

[Allow fred libvirt management permissions]
Identity=unix-user:fred
Action=org.libvirt.unix.manage
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes


as stated at http://libvirt.org/auth.html#ACL_server_polkit

then virsh and virt-manager work fine in sid without needing extras from 
experimental

so its less of a bug, more of an extra note needed for configuration 
with polkit.
