I'm actually considering solving this in a slightly more radical way. I
examined the remaining reverse dependencies of policykit-gnome, and it's
not a lot.
reverse dependency tree:
policykit-gnome
gnome-lirc-properties
gnome-mount
gnome-volume-manager
libipoddevice
hipo
xubuntu-desktop
xorg-options-editor-gtk
gnome-api-docs (on -doc)
* gnome-mount and gnome-volume-manager are obsolete and should just be removed.
* libipoddevice should drop the g-v-m/hal recommends, they are obsolete and
handled by gvfs/udisks now
* xubuntu-desktop should drop its policykit-gnome dependency, I doubt that
they use it for anything.
* xorg-options-editor-gtk sounds old fashioned and could just go; I asked
Bryce/Alberto about this
* Once the previous things are solved, gnome-api-docs can drop its dependency
on policykit-gnome-doc
Once that's done, policykit-gnome can be removed from lucid, and
policykit-1-gnome can get a Conflicts:/Replaces: to clean up policykit-
gnome on upgrades.
Thoughts?
