I think that only usable alternative _if it works_ is to build polkit
linked always to libsystemd-logind.so.X and force users of sysvinit
to use small part of systemd (libsystemd-logind.so.X packaged in systemd-logind).

Then we could keep add --enable-systemd to polkit etc., but if this
breaks stuff which worked with consolekit, then distro policy would be
better.

Cheers,
