Gah. Karl sent me this mail privately too because it wasn't reaching the
mailing list, and I replied privately already...

Short summary:
 - PolicyKit-gnome is just there for compatibility with old PolicyKit
 - right thing is polkit-gnome
 - polkit-gnome-authorization should not have been shipped by default
   (fixed in Factory)
 - I have no idea about the KDE tool
 - sysadmins should mostly care about polkit-default-privs
