systemd upower polkit
Two related questions
aptitude tells me "upower and upower:i386 are recommended"
When I do
aptitude install upower upower:i386
I get all this

Question 1
Given that multiarch only means multiarch libraries and not other 'normal'
packages, this 'recommends' looks like a bug. Yes?
Trying to install only upower(64bit) seems less problematic:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libimobiledevice4{a} libplist2{a} libpolkit-agent-1-0{a} libpolkit-backend-1-0{a} libusbmuxd2{a} policykit-1{a} upower
usbmuxd{a}
Question 2
Now I remember that polkit was one of the problems in upgrading to
systemd and I had to remove it. Should it be installed?
