I have concerns with this new release, as it introduced a depencency on
policykit (it added support for shutdown/reboot methods, and having that
kind of functionality in consolekit seems wrong to me. See also [1][2]
and the following posts for more information).

I don't plan to update the package in Debian until it's clear where CK
is heading. The current direction it's taking with 0.2.4 is imho wrong.

Cheers,
Michael
