the trick is to satisfy the dependencies without installing anything
needing systemd. to do this you just need to use older versions of
some packages from wheezy/stable.

force version "0.105-3" for the following packages:
policykit-1
libpolkit-backend-1.0
libpolkit-gobject-1.0

you may have to force other packages too but this will make
policykit-1 work without systemd.
