Getting closer:

I found the appropriate documentaion here:

http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polkit/pklocalauthority.8.html

And can now control such things as power suspend and hibernate.

However, I can not find how Ubuntu now configures device access.   This
used to be done by the old policykit, but can not find any polikit-1
"action" that would give me direct access to devices.  However, if I
getfacl devices like sr0 and audio, something is granting rw to the user
of the active console.  Any suggestions as to where to look for this
configuration would be welcome.
