We do not want policykit to use the unmaintainable mozjs backend. That
would be a hard NACK from the Security Team.

The duktape backend has been merged upstream. So in order to sync this
to Ubuntu, the following must be done:

1- Get Debian to switch to the duktape backend
2- Get Debian to transition all packages in the archive from PKLA policy files 
to JS policy files
3- Transition Ubuntu packages not in Debian from PKLA policy files to JS policy 
files
4- Investigate Snap policykit support, and if required, transition Snaps from 
PKLA policy files to JS policy files.

Once the transition has been done for all software, policykit can be
switched to the duktape policykit backend by syncing the package from
Debian. Hopefully at that point it will be in Unstable, and not in
experimental.
