Not entirely sure if cinnamon should depend on the virtual 
polkit-agent-1 package (keep in mind that e.g. gnome-shell provides 
polkit-agent-1 and this is obviously not a working combination).

Instead, cinnamon should pick a specific (standalone) polkit-agent-1 
implementation, which can be started under cinnamon.
Or as Simon already mentioned, implement its own PK agent directly in 
the shell, as GNOME Shell does.

Michael
