Oh, sorry, I misremembered -- I don't recall the debianutils maintainer
weighing in. I think that statement was about sensible-utils, not
debianutils.
I generally agree with the idea that something cross-distro would be
better, and hence xdg-su would be the best solution, but if they're not
willing to use anything other than PolicyKit, that seems like a
showstopper there.
