I see the patch is in master now but I'll just note here that Ross' idea
here seems like a good solution (even if it makes figuring out the overall
policy a little trickier for humans) and I see nothing that would prevent
it from working. I just got side tracked with other D-Bus policy bugs while
look at this: After I'm done with those I'll make a patch to move the xuser
connman policy to the xuser recipe.
