FWIW, this will probably change again, I'm currently shuffling code
around trying to make things fit etc. Also, I don't think it's
reasonable to announce each and every change on the mailing list;
there's a reason we have logs in git... Personally I just follow the git
repos in Google Reader for the main 10-20 projects I care about. Works
really well.

Uh, this is in some code where you already had to define
POLKIT_BACKEND_I_KNOW_API_IS_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE since you are extending
the daemon.... so I don't think it's reasonable to complain.
Btw, there's no API _change_ here (and there are no planned changes to
PolkitBackendActionLookup either), just some build system snafu.
