We don't plan to bring a ui like that back. If you need to tweak policy,
the local authority uses a simple file-based configuration, see
pklocalauthority(8). Medium-term, we want to have a simple group-based
configuration that will be accessible via some ui, see the
polkit-desktop-policy package for the groundwork.
To help me understand this better, can you give me a example? Let's say
I want to tweak PackageKit's policy to not ask for root password even
when untrusted packages are being installed, how do I go about doing that?
