tags 549987 + patch thanks I've uploaded a fixed version of halevt, directly to unstable (rationale: the package _is_ orphaned even if the maintainer is still listed in debian/control, see changelog for details).
Beside QA misc fixes, the fix for this issue has actually been a new dep on policykit. I did not go the way proposed by gregor because, that way, if the user eventually install policykit after having installed halevt, she will not get proper configuration.
