OK! Note that it currently bootstraps from 1.39; it'd be nice to not
have to return to 1.29 for powerpc64el.

In other news I've added a polkit-duktape package on the cufbc branch.
Feel free to try it (with some transformation applied, or by hacking
s/polkit/polkit-duktape/ manually in your checkout).

HTH!

Thanks for experimenting with it.
