If you want or need support for js rules, you need to pull in the polkit-js-engine package. I've just made this change for the desktop spin.

It would probably have been useful if you'd emailed the spins list
about there changes.

Also is there any documentation as to why we'd need the
polkit-js-engine what functionality it provides, and more importantly
what we'd lose by not including it?
