I am a bit puzzled by that. What's the rationale here?

I mean this is neither current practice, nor do I get why? I mean, we need some
way how we can ship vendor supplied default policies, and I am pretty sure we
shouldn't come up with a a third layer of policy to enforce stuff like this.

Also, why is there even /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/ if it's not for the
package vendor to fill with stuff?

I guess I should ping davidz about this.
