Oh, sorry, I misremembered -- I don't recall the debianutils maintainer
weighing in.  I think that statement was about sensible-utils, not
debianutils.

I generally agree with the idea that something cross-distro would be
better, and hence xdg-su would be the best solution, but if they're not
willing to use anything other than PolicyKit, that seems like a
showstopper there.
