Will there be an "easy" way for us distributors to ship a PolicyKit that 
works pretty much like what HAL in Gentoo does today :

   <policy group="plugdev">
     <allow 
send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement"/>
     <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel"/>
     <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"/>
     <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"/>
   </policy>

Just wondering :)
