Oh, right, I was missing the part, in which we rename it.
W.r.t. "building it twice", that's only if you have both mate-polkit
and the new one in your profile, in which case I guess it would be
tolerable.  If you're using just MATE or just XFCE you'll build one or
the other.

FWIW, there is also xfce-polkit [1], but it was last updated 2020 with
the latest release in 2018 (which is still more recent than 2011,
though).  WDYT?
