Yet another choice!

FWIW I did a little survey on what the other distributions are doing;

Arch        polkit-gnome
Fedora      xfce-polkit
Mageia      mate-polkit
Mandriva    xfce-polkit
SuSE        polkit-gnome


I don't now think that me attempting an MR for this bug (when opinions
differ as to what that should contain) is likely to help, and will just slow things down.

Any dependency would solve the issue of users ending up with no authentication agent. Choices have little downside,
as the agents don't do anything unless enabled,
and users having issues can always install something else.


Cheers,
Peter
