[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#533598: /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf: Please support <match group="groupname">

Package: policykit
Version: 0.9-4
Severity: wishlist
File: /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf

PolicyKit.conf supports <match user="username"> and
<match action="action.id">.  However, PolicyKit.conf does not support
any means of matching on groups.  Often, a group will have permission to
perform a given action, rather than simply a fixed list of users.
If PolicyKit.conf supports matching on groups, this information can
remain in just one place, /etc/group.

I propose adding a new attribute to the <match> element to match on
groups: <match group="groupname">.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
