[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#504450: policykit: It is possible to grant sudo like access to a group

[Diego Escalante Urrelo]

Package: policykit
Version: 0.9-3
Severity: normal

You can also add <define_admin_auth group="adm"/> to the config file and so any
user in the adm group will be allowed to auth with their own password.
I think this is what Ubuntu does, but must confirm.
The package should detect if root is enabled before installing and in
consecuence add such option, I understand 'adm' group is for people somehow
trusted.
