The policykit-1 Build-Depends is indeed for the polkit.its file.
Unfortunately, alternative build-depends do not seem to work (at least 
sbuild failed with Build-Depends: polkitd | policykit-1)

So I kept policykit-1 as b-dep, as NM get's regular stable backports.

Either PolicyKit get's a stable backport itself, or I'll postpone the 
b-dep switch to bookworm+1.

Michael
