Thanks to my installation hassle i had an a bit close look to some
installed modules. So i saw, that with the basic install + X (i did not
install any specific desktop, but only with the --no-install-recommends
option: xorg, jwm, menu, lxdm) is already pulled in the gnome-polkit.
ITYM policykit-1-gnome.
I do not know, if a polkit is absolutely needed,
If you want session management you'll probably need some
kind of polkit. What would happen (package-wise) if you
tried to remove policykit-1-gnome?
I'm using xfce4 DE on Devuan Jessie and have removed all
policy-kit* packages and package-kit. The halt and reboot buttons of the
logout menu of Xfce do not work anymore. They certainly invoke some
command to ask permission to policy-kit which denies it if anyone else
is logged on. Not something I need or want on a desktop.
I have created two launcher files invoking /sbin/halt and
/sbin/reboot, with sensible icons, and then dragged them into the
pannels of all 4 users of the desktop. And I have added the following
line to the sudoers file:
ALL myhostname = (root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot,
/sbin/shutdown
Still it is impossible to halt/reboot from the lightdm greeter, but
pressing briefly the power button triggers a gentle halt.
Removing package-kit causes the synaptic launcher to not work
anymore because it invokes pkexec to ask permission to policy-kit. You
need to edit the launcher and replace the command by
gksu synaptiic
There's a fashion of having everything depend on policykit but it
is still possible to live without it.
