[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#768376: [libvirt-daemon-system]

[Jan-Benedict Glaw]

Hi all, hi Guido!

I just wanted to throw in my 2c. While cleaning up some machines, I
came along my KVM host and actually wondered why policykit was pulled
in.  I'm as well only using root-based access to libvirt, which keeps
all the systemd stack installed.

  I admit that I'm not too deep into the details of packaging. It's
probably a good thing to pull polkit in the first place, since it's
probably used. However, I'd be quite happy to see a way getting rid of
the (hard) dependency, allowing to deinstall polkit and its
dependencies.  Going a route like requiring some libvirt-auth meta
package, provided by libvirt-polkit und libvirt-socket would probably
do the job, but might look like over-engineering?

MfG, JBG
