I missed that point, thanks for the hint. However, as far as I know,
Debian Buster has already started freeze and current polkit version in
buster is 0.105. I'm not really familiar with the whole packaging workflow
but will polkit 0.115 be able to end up in buster at all?

I mean, if it wont make it, Devuan/beowulf might come with a much
newer polkit than Debian/buster. I have no idea, if that 
would be a problem?

Nice. No hurry anyway, just for myself to know that I'm not required
to spend more time on this at the moment.

cheers,
Andreas
