tags 549987 + patch
thanks
I've uploaded a fixed version of halevt, directly to unstable
(rationale: the package _is_ orphaned even if the maintainer is still
listed in debian/control, see changelog for details).
Beside QA misc fixes, the fix for this issue has actually been a new dep
on policykit. I did not go the way proposed by gregor because, that way,
if the user eventually install policykit after having installed halevt,
she will not get proper configuration.
Regards.
