When upgrading (hoo-boy!) to systemd a few weeks ago I had to remove policykit packages. After that aptitude has been saying recommends (or is it suggests) some polkit stuff. Now dist-upgrade is bringing back these (and some others): libpolkit-agent-1-0{a} libpolkit-backend-1-0{a} libupower-glib3{a} policykit-1{a} Is that ok? Note: For the most part system is working with systemd. Still I dont want to lose the option of choosing sysv-init at grub (just in case)
