It's just a bunch of data actually. Policy recommends to use package
name in order to allow coexistence of several versions of shared
libraries, so auxiliary data for libfoo1 does not stomp on foot of data
for libfoo2.

I'm really sorry, but I don't have time for it now. Feel free to start
discussions (both in debian-policy and with upstream) and keep me in
CC. Please don't forget to contact all other maintainers who use
uppercase letters in /usr/{share,lib} -- I gave some examples from my
system.
Changing /usr/share/PolicyKit -> /usr/share/policykit will be beneficial
in particular. Everyone will be happy changing upstream's policies
installation path.
