I'm not sure this makes sense, as packagekitd can be auto-started by
user 'bob' and then used to install a package, and then user 'sally'
can use the same daemon instance to remove a package. The daemon only
quits after 10 seconds of idleness.

Requiring system-activated daemon to quit after ever user action would
demolish performance IMHO.
