Please unblock package xfce4

In #1090384 it was requested that the Xfce desktop environment ship with
a working polkit agent. While it's a bit (!) late in the release cycle,
we finally uploaded a new version of the xfce4 metapackage bringing the
mate-polkit as a Recommends.

So this bug is to request to unblock that package and let it migrate to
trixie.

[ Reason ]
Make sure a working polkit agent is present on Xfce installs and it can
handle the permissions request for privilege escalation (installing
packages through Synaptics etc.)

[ Impact ]
No polkit agent installed and running under Xfce session means the user
will get permission refusals for administrative actions.

[ Tests ]
None really relevant.

[ Risks ]
It's a apparently a key package. One impact I can see is to raise a
little the installed size of an Xfce environnement. That might be
relevant for the Xfce installation media (besides mate-polkit it'll also
bring accountsservice).

[ Checklist ]
  [X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [X] attach debdiff against the package in testing
