As mentioned on IRC: the existence of that directory is a result of
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/ being a copy of the directory structure in
/var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/. It is not an indication that it
should be used for vendor-shipped files.
I agree that /var is a questionable choice for files being shipped in
(vendor) packages. Newer versions of polkit will use
/usr/share/polkit-1. Nevertheless, polkit uses the etc-overrides-foo
scheme, only that it is not (yet) /usr, but /var.


Cheers,
Michael
