Why do you say that? The code seems to show that only
installed packages have the corresponding policies loaded. The policy
on my virtual machines seems different from the policy on my
desktop.

This means going through every single installed package, even
the ones we do not care specially for, as opposed to looking for
packages corresponding to policy module packages.
It is not clear if this is going to make a perceptible
difference; and, anyway, policy package selection is a minor part of
the time taken; actually loading the policy modules is the most time
consuming part.
