Please consider the attached patch, also available in
https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/rtkit/-/merge_requests/2.

It looked like a Depends is appropriate here.

It looks like this particular package does not use pkexec.

I used the alternative dependency in the interests of a minimally
disruptive change.

If my recent team upload of malcontent migrates to testing, this is one
of only 3 remaining source packages that would need similar changes to
stop including policykit-1 in new installations of a Debian 12 GNOME
desktop (the others are colord and synaptic). I haven't yet tried the
equivalent with other desktop environments.

Subject: [PATCH] d/control: Depend on polkitd and pkexec in preference to
 policykit-1

This allows synaptic to be installed without the policykit-1
transitional package (and therefore the legacy polkitd-pkla package),
especially in new installations.

Closes: #1025630
