You don't have to disable almost a hundred of dependencies, you just need to acknowledge that some packages are not fully functional on !linux. Keep in mind that I only proposed to change policykit-1 to linux-any. The libpolkit-*-dev packages would still be any. The effect would be, that packages which declare a hard Depends on policykit-1 would be not installable on !linux. And I think that's a good thing. If they really need policykit-1, we should not pretend that a functional policykit-1 exists when it doesn't. Regards, Michael
