Maybe I did something wrong, I tried to contact maintainer
of "portupgrade" since I had some port search additions...
Didn't post the ports earlier (before this backend backport),
since it was kinda useless to run with the "dummy" backend. :-)

Currently PackageKit requires both PolicyKitOne (0.9x) and also
Glib 2.22+, which was why it needed to wait for GNOME 2.28 etc.
gnome-packagekit requires DeviceKit-power for "battery" support,
but I added a disabler meanwhile (i.e. assume power is connected).
