policykit (0.9-2ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes: LP: #314985
    - debian/patches/ubuntu-admin-group.patch: Change PolicyKit.conf to use
      'admin' as administrator group, instead of the 'root' user. Also
      grant all permissions to root, since root is not in the admin group and
      is already almighty anyway. This unbreaks running tools like g-s-t as
      root.
    - debian/policykit.init: Create /var/run/PolicyKit if it does not exist.
      This happens if /var/run is on a tmpfs. Install it in debian/rules.
    - debian/control: Drop policykit-gnome from Recommends: to Suggests: to
      match the Suggests semantics and to avoid pulling in -gnome in
      non-GNOMEish installations.
    - 02_noptrace.patch.disabled: Disable ptrace() and core dumping for
      programs using libpolkit for security reasons; not enabled during
      development.
    - Add debian/patches/03_consolekit0.3-api.patch: Try both the ConsoleKit 0.3
      and the older 0.2 API, to work with either.
    - Don't chown /var/run/PolicyKit in the postinst, as /var/run is on a tmpfs,
      and it should be the job of the init script to do this.
    - Use root:polkituser for /var/run/PolicyKit in the init script, as this
      is what the postinst uses. Thanks to Chris Coulson for spotting this.
    - Don't ship /var/run/PolicyKit in the package either, since the init
      script should always handle it per the above.

  [ Simon McVittie ]
  * Add patch committed in Fedora (although not upstream) by the upstream
    maintainer, to allow PolicyKit to be used when CVE-2008-4311 has
    been fixed in dbus-daemon. (Closes: #510646)

  * debian/control
    - Add ${misc:Depends} to all binary packages.
