Milan said in #62: Have a look at files in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/ and try to guess what are the files you need to edit. Then it's probably useful to file bugs so that it's fixed upstream, if applicable.

What are the criteria to know what files need to be edited? I saw org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.policy and gdm.policy mentioned above. Are those the only two?

Would it be more correct to replace every "allow_active" with "allow_any" in 100% of those files? There are 25 files that say "allow_active" in them.

I want to help fix this bug, which means filing a bug report for every package that needs a revised policy file, like gdm and system-tools-backends:

root@cst8:/usr/share/polkit-1/actions# dpkg -S gdm.policy
gdm: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/gdm.policy
root@cst8:/usr/share/polkit-1/actions# dpkg -S org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.policy
system-tools-backends: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.policy
root@cst8:/usr/share/polkit-1/actions#

I just don't understand what criteria to use to know which other packages should have a bug filed.
