Yes, normally polkit works fine, with:
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.a11y.brlapi.policy
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/org.a11y.brlapi.rules
which basically say that somebody logged in on the machine can connect
to brlapi.
Probably the issue should be discussed on the brltty mailing list, Dave
will know more about it.

That's a way to dirty-fix the issue, indeed.
