Hey Simon,

Thanks for the notice! I sent an upstream PR to update the dependency.

That's very much necessary still, as I both backport to Debian 11, and Ubuntu
did not even get the package split yet. It's stuck in proposed for a month:
https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#policykit-1
mostly due to duktape not being in main (that needs a main inclusion
report/check first), and some gvfs regression.

Thanks,

Martin
