I don't see anything in the dpkg-maintscript-helper man page about using
it when one package takes over another package's conffile, only about
using it when a conffile is removed (not the case here) or renamed (not
the case here). We don't want those conffiles to be removed or renamed
during upgrades, we just want polkitd to take over their ownership from
the transitional policykit-1 package.
Do you have a solution in mind for this? I'm open to suggestions.

What does "dpkg database limbo" mean, exactly? Is there a user-visible
problem that this will cause?
