Jeez, Rahul. This has nothing to do with polkit per se, only PackageKit
and how it decides to use polkit. I've commented that much in the bug.
And as noted in the bug I don't even agree there's a problem. But I
leave that to Richard and others to sort out.

Btw, please don't add me to the Cc again like this or reply to this -
I'm not interested in this bike-shed or what color it is. Thanks.
