Inhibit shutdown when the package manager is locked:
Only enabled if I build with systemd support, which is not enabled for

glib: Don't update the transaction role to 'unknown':
Small, non-critical bugfix
See http://gitorious.org/packagekit/packagekit/commit/ed8fd1d820b8bca2946c4351a011456bc4326d25
Drop the unused polkit-backend-1 check from configure as it's gone upstream:
Does what it descibes :P Debian has a recent-enough PolKit version, so
no issues and one useless check dropped.
See http://gitorious.org/packagekit/packagekit/commit/68e6bc6fdf4a9994730370aca3a2878662600fb9
Fix a crash where NetworkManager is restarted whilst packagekitd is running:
Important fix for packagekitd, I already got this reported by Debian
users too. (Although it happens in a rare case)
See http://gitorious.org/packagekit/packagekit/commit/1746179e446fa652027c673cff0f0f5e5daccd99
yum-fixes:
Only affect the Yum backend in Fedora, doesn't get compiled in Debian
and is therefore not relevant. (Ignore changes on backends/yum)
lost of alpm changes:
The alpm backend is also not shipped in Debian, so you can ignore all
changes affecting this backend (in backends/alpm) too.
All changes affecting global or Debian-related code are mentioned above.
Hope this helps :-)

Matthias
