Can you explain what the advantage of your approach is? From a

Not sure what you mean with 'not installed'.
gnome-session requires polkit-gnome, so it better be installed.
Not sure what you mean by 'cannot run by itself' either. The
authentication agent in polkit-gnome is perfectly capable of running all
by itself. The package just doesn't inject itself in random desktop
environments anymore by installing an autostart file.
I don't mind if you add a provides to your polkit agent implementation
that wms can depend on. Thats between you and the window managers... but
as far as gnome is concerned, we don't want to depend on anything
virtual, but control which agent is running.
