cockpit's primary way to get a privileged bridge is through sudo now. If it is not available, the shell just shows "Something went wrong / Spawn failed". So recommend sudo to avoid this. Demote polkit to a fallback dependency, to correspond to the shell manifest. https://bugs.debian.org/978135

Also checked with rmplint and all seems fine to me, thanks!
