Didn't announcement you pasted in the ticket say that distro-specific
scripts should not be needed anymore? You should be able to install 
polkit
and script from the source tree itself. See arch PKGBUILD.

Yes it did, but I wasn't sure how to address this.  If you've done the 
research, can you share it?

As I said, arch has a solution. I don't have gparted installed on my 
machine. I try to avoid *mm packages.

Looking at:

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/gparted

Seems that default gparted script/binary will handle pkexec, while the 
policy file is in the root source dir.
