Yes, for the build and then producing separate packages targeting elogind and
systemd.

I have done some work on producing both libsystemd *and* libelogind compatible
policykit-1 packages from the Debian/experimental source. It works, but needs
some refinement. With thanks and credit to the folks from Devuan who have
already made this work.

But the basic build works. I hope it will be helpful to Debian's policykit
maintainers when we bug them to include elogind packages.

Yes, I think so.
