We ship the JS based policykit-1 in experimental [1] but it was never
part of a stable release.
Some packages in Debian simply ship both (old .pkla and .rules files)
so they continue to work should a user decide to pull the policykit-1
version from experimental.
It's a confusing situation I know.

Michael
