Package: consolekit
Version: 0.4.5-1
Severity: serious
File: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy
Justification: Policy 10.7.2
Consolekit stores configuration files under
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions.
According to the Debian Policy Manual, config files must be stored
under /etc:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.7.2
Please move the config files to /etc.
The reason I ran into this was that I wanted to enable non-root users
to reboot / shut down the system from within GNOME even though there
were other people logged in.
To achieve this I had to update
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy, but
that file will most likely get messed up by the next package upgrade.
If there is a better way to achieve this I'd of course like to hear
about that as well, but the main point in this bug is that config
files should be in /etc.
