After discussion with Mitr (most active developer of polkit) I am giving up on this
work.
Pkexec does not have priority and it is unlikely that those problem I faced up will be
resolved. So the migration of
Mock will likely break user experience. Therefore I will rather stay with consolehelper,
which may be old, but it works.
Can that path issue still be fixed even with consolehelper?
