This directory is for policykit-1 from experimental. Not sure why you have that directory. Maybe you installed policykit-1 from experimental some time ago and downgraded again (which won't remove the conffiles). > - How can I point to all users by 'Identity='?

The reasoning here is, that someone who is active and local has physical access, so could shutdown the system via other means anyway (pull the plug).
