Currently missing is policykit-gnome, which is in NEW atm. It's also targetted at experimental. As soon as this package has been accepted, I plan to upload a ConsoleKit/PolicyKit enabled hal to experimental. But keep in mind, that dbus still requires some coarse grained access rules (currently group based). When, if and how dbus will get PolicyKit support i don't know.
