Hi guys, sorry if I am answering just now, but somehow this mail slipped from

Not really, actually. Instead, one should be able to change that variable to 
point to the correct directory (usually /usr/share/polkit-1/actions), so it is 
indeed my mistake.

Makes sense, but the warning should be shown if the directory is actually 
different from /usr... in any case, as installing those in the same dir that 
polkit-qt-1 specifies doesn't necessarily mean that the location is correct.
