Do you have another suggestions on how to fix the issue for people who have already upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze? They will have both /etc/dbus-1/system.d/system-tools-backends.conf and /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.conf on their system. The former not belonging to any package and not being tracked at all. But still, its presence will prevent them from using anything from gnome-system-tools requiring extra privileges. This fix is mainly targeted at stable. I am willing to look up any suggestions or cancel the upload if you have a better idea, but from my tests, writing special handling was the only way to solve this. Cheers, -- Jérémy Bobbio .''`.
