That just means we can't ask *others* to do such things in their packages, but there's no reason why we can't in ours, no? And I agree it's time to drop .dirs, it makes no sense in this day and age to do this manually in scripts. Incidentally, we also have some leftovers handling of /var/lib/polkit-1 - I think that's no longer necessary as well, given Michael dropped pkla support entirely, right?
