Currently, the only hard reverse dependency according to dak is:

Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Depends:
cinnamon: cinnamon
cinnamon-control-center: cinnamon-control-center

Dependency problem found.




Simon, should we hand over policykit-1-gnome to the cinnamon maintainers?

I wanted to ask you to forward this patch to upstream, but it seems PolicyKit-gnome has been archived: Having a security sensitive application with a dead upstream is probably not a good idea, so I wonder whether dropping policykit-1-gnome from the archive would be a (better) alternative. I thought cinnamon had a builtin PK agent. Either this is not true or the dependency is unnecessary.
