Please unblock package xfce-polkit (currently in NEW)

[ Reason ]
Closes: https://bugs.debian.org/1090384
Will help with https://bugs.debian.org/1104427

Xfce desktop environment has no authentication agent,
following removal of policykit-1-gnome from Trixie
https://bugs.debian.org/990271


[ Impact ]
Gui tools requiring root will not run in Xfce.
Examples; gparted, gsmartcontrol, synaptic, thunar etc.


[ Tests ]
I update my desktop Trixie system daily via synaptic,
and mount auxiliary partitions via thunar, using
xfce-polkit for the last two months.
Also, I have checked that gparted and gsmartcontrol run Ok.
(Attaching screenshot of synaptic authentication)
