Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 3.0.0-9.1
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 + lxde task-lxde-desktop

While trying to reproduce #1008313, I noticed that a Debian 12 LXDE
default installation has both lxpolkit and policykit-1-gnome. This seems
unnecessary: lxpolkit is sufficient for LXDE users.

It seems that policykit-1-gnome was installed because gnome-system-tools
has:

Package: gnome-system-tools
Architecture: any
Depends: ...,
         policykit-1-gnome | mate-polkit

This should probably be more like

Package: gnome-system-tools
Architecture: any
Depends: ...,
         policykit-1-gnome | polkit-1-auth-agent

so that any implementation (including for example lxpolkit or gnome-shell)
is considered to be valid.
