I think that polkit should notify the users about graphical
authentication agents to avoid confusion. Users of
lightweight environments may don't know that they should
install one for accessing privileged actions from the
GUI.
Please add the following note into the post_install() script: "If you are using a desktop environment, make sure that a graphical authentication agent is installed and autostarted." Maybe a link could be placed also: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit#Authentication_agents |

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: Printing instructions on post_install is a no-go. The message will scroll out of sight during installation anyways, so you won't notice it anyways.
