Description: transitional package for polkitd and pkexec
polkit is an application-level toolkit for defining and handling the policy
that allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
It was previously named PolicyKit.
This transitional package depends on polkitd, the system service used by
polkit, and pkexec, a setuid program analogous to sudo. They were
historically packaged together, but have been separated so that users of
polkitd are not required to install pkexec.
