First of all, disclaimer: I'm not a KDE developer, I just submit patches
sometimes...
As far as I understand, kauth can (does?) use different backends on
different platforms, and polkit-qt-1 is "the" backend on Linux.
I think that it should be clear that kauth does not depend on other tier1
libraries except for polkit-qt-1. Not sure what is the best way to do this.
