[packagekit] Res: PolicyKit, PackageKit or apt backend

[Ken VanDine]

I really don't think restarting dbus on a update is a good idea.
Restarts actually can break lots of apps and I have never found a good
use case to do it.  For example, if you move to gdm 2.22 or greater,
restarting dbus will kill the login session... which is not good :)
