In existing installations it might still be the home directory of the
polkitd user (we try to change it to /nonexistent, but we might not be
able to if there's some stray process running as polkitd), and we can't
`rm -r` it because other packages might still own files in there.

I don't think that necessarily blocks removing all of the leftover
handling of it, but it will need doing a bit carefully.
