I've just upgraded gir1.2-polkit-1.0 libpolkit-agent-1-0 and
libpolkit-gobject-1-0 to their respective version (cf. [0]) in experimental.
There was, however, no newer version of libpolkit-backend-1-0 in there, so that
I currently have the following versions installed:

    ii  gir1.2-polkit-1.0                           0.112-3
    ii  libpolkit-agent-1-0:amd64                   0.112-3
    ii  libpolkit-backend-1-0:amd64                 0.105-7
    ii  libpolkit-gobject-1-0:amd64                 0.112-3

Unfortunately this did not change anything in the reported behaviour and I still
see:

    $ virsh connect qemu:///system
    error: Failed to connect to the hypervisor
    error: authentication failed: no agent is available to authenticate
