This message is typical of Policykit's self propaganda. sudo's
messages are different.
Policykit is a server-based system intended to grant you
permissions without ressorting to the traditional unix mechanisms - same
idea as ssh-agent, but more generic and complicated.
Policykit's configuration is yet another pseudo-language you have
to learn unless you can get rid of it, which is hard to do completely :-(
