If that's your policy, then you need to patch /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf
to NOT use PolicyKit in a package that doesn't have support for it. This
is--AFAICT--an upstream bug in hal that this stanza is not removed when
./configure finds that PK is not going to be enabled. Now THAT is a bug I
could file. But, as I've said, I already corrected for that and the problem
appears to be deeper.
