It would be easier with some global (as distro-level) switch.. it's easy
to watch for ${PN}-systemd subpackages going to image (as they are
usually pulled by task-* recipes), but in case like this with polkit
it's more difficult and cannot work OOTB for both sides I guess. 
(I'm fine with bbappend in my distro layer for now..)
