https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825956#81
has some background on this.

sd_uid_get_state() is apparently broken in jessie with systemd-logind
under sysvinit. This was fixed in a later systemd version, that's why
no-one ever noticed it in unstable/testing.

debian/patches/0.113/sessionmonitor-systemd-Use-sd_uid_get_state-to-check.patch
and
debian/patches/0.113/sessionmonitor-systemd-prepare-for-D-Bus-user-bus-mo.patch

where added to support the systemd --user / D-Bus user model.
This is not really a concern for jessie though.

So my proposal would be, to simply disable those two particular patches.
Those would be the only change between policykit-1/0.105-15~deb8u1 and
deb8u2.

Does that sound ok to you?

Sorry for that mess this upload created.

Regards,
Michael
