To clarify, I'm certainly not talking about backporting that entire
revision!  That would indeed be madness.  I just mean the tiny bit of
that revision that switches the order of pk_transaction_set_full_paths
and pk_transaction_obtain_authorization in pk_transaction_install_files,
which appears to be quite safe.

Thanks.  I don't think I have permission to do so (although I'm not very
familiar with Gitorious' UI); could you push it for me?

I would love to be more current, but that's basically blocked on
Sebastian's aptdaemon work at the moment.  Once that's in place I'd be
happy to support an upgrade.

Cheers,
