Removing buster tag, as this version is only in experimental - for exactly this
reason. We really don't want policykit to use mozjs in any release, both for
maintenance/security reasons and also because it's a rather bad idea in general
to have a touring complete and weakly-typed language to describe security
properties instead of the current declarative rules.
