something needing *pkexec*. Though from what we've found in this

rewrite everything in GNOME and KDE that relies on pkexec to use a
different mechanism.
I wouldn't call myself a domain expert on this, but ...
cc-remote-login-helper at least should be able to be updated. (It's making
dbus calls to systemd to enable sshd.)
Other stuff may be more like fundamentally replacing the whole app/tool.
I wonder if a first step might be to split out pkexec into a subpackage, and
then gradually remove requirements on it.
