I've just had that code in my hands (in xfce4-session).

Maybe we could add some --disable-policykit configure flag which
causes it to exec an external helper for that (which in turn can
be easily customized by distros / users).

That would just be great if upstream is smart enough to preserve this possibility. The external helper is the easy thing (I've my own ready :-) ) The difficulty for me is packaging.
