But again, this is just for gpk. What about all the other apps using polkit services? They don't require a polkit agent directly either.

IMHO they should, or at least recommend.

Again, I disagree: this implies knowing that the service you are using will use polkit for authentication. There is absolutely *no* dependency on polkit in gnome-packagekit. Look at the code.

The dependency would be in PackageKit. And then we can really just say "if you have polkit installed, you should have a polkit-agent installed too", so we can simply move the dependency to polkit.

OK, that makes sense, would a recommends dependency be justified?

Makes sense to me. So let's do the virtual provides you proposed earlier in polkit-gnome & friends, and a recommends on this virtual provides. I wonder: is polkit installed on a server install, with no X? It'd be a shame to have X installed because of this.
