This is an interesting question
When upgrading (hoo-boy!) to systemd a few weeks ago I had to remove policykit
packages.
After that aptitude has been saying recommends (or is it suggests) some
polkit stuff.
Now dist-upgrade is bringing back these (and some others):
libpolkit-agent-1-0{a} libpolkit-backend-1-0{a}
Context:
On the tex user group, someone was asking/complaining about the difficulties of
downloading texlive.
- One has to download one (few?) large (in GBs) dvd image
- The user was on a slow/flaky line
In response the texlive folks admitted that there was a problem without
a clear solution.
