Not a user of policykit here -- I don't like it (as may be deduced
from my other posts). But Gene, before getting all impolite on folks
*giving you stuff for free*, please do some homework. The policykit-1
package page [1] lists *seven* man pages accompanying the package
itself:
/usr/share/man/man1/pkaction.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/pkcheck.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/pkexec.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/pkttyagent.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/pklocalauthority.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/polkit.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/polkitd.8.gz
(and should those be missing in your machines, care to file a bug?)
You read any of them? Thought so.
It took me less than 5 minutes to find that out, even not having
polkit installed. Install && use it, or... leave it (as I do), but
stop shitting on people offering you (for free) the fruit of their
labours.

My throat is clear, thankyouverymuch. Nothing has been forced this
way (by Debian, at least).

Once you've read that pages above, you also might want install
policykit-1-doc [2] with (roughly estimated) 50 HTML files carefully
written for your reading convenience.

Do you see them now?
Sorry for the somewhat rough tone. But: (1) your tone was also
somewhat rough, so par for the course, I'd say. And (2) always
assume the possibility of an error on your side.
Cheers, nevertheless :-)
