[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#792307: policykit-1: There should be a variant of policykit-1 which doesn't depend on systemd

[Christian Mueller]

Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.105-8
Severity: normal

Policykit has been around for a while and many packages required it long before
systemd appeared on the scene (in my case, blueman, lightdm-gtk-greeter, colord,
hplip to name a few). It's companion, ConsoleKit, now comes in two "flavors",
one being systemd-logind, the other the original ConsoleKit, and the dependencies
across the Debian packages have been set up to depend on either one of them.

What I'm proposing is to use a similar solution for policyit. For example, there
could be two packages: systemd-policykit-1 and policykit-1, the former one
compiled with --enable-systemd, the latter compiled with --disable-systemd. Or,
since we're talking about a release already out, the packages could be named
policykit-1 (with systemd) and policykit-1-nosystemd (without systemd). Or
something around those lines - you get the picture :)
