At the moment at least Debian sticks to polkit version 0.105 since
they have concerns about the JS-based rules config and the migration
of old pkla configurations, compare [1].

To dispel the converns about automatic migration I developed a little
helper to convert most kinds of pkla config files to JS. I know this
is mainly a Debian-specific problem but maybe upstream is interested
to provide the helper as well.

Js encode string to utf8

See merge request polkit/polkit!29

When strings handled by the jsbackendauthority contain non-ASCII, the
code will fail.  For example, on a system having a user with a
non-ASCII name, the following message will appear when a USB stick is
plugged in.

mar 04 21:47:31 mimmi polkitd[17163]: Error evaluating authorization rules

The user will not be allowed to do the mount.

The problem is that strings were variously encoded back to C strings
with JS_EncodeString and JS_EncodeStringToUTF8.  According to the
documentation
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/JSAPI_reference/JS_EncodeString#Description)
the former will simply drop the high byte from each character.  If
that happens to a username, it will no longer be found as a valid user
name on the system.  Explicitly encoding to UTF-8 will at least work
in UTF-8 locales, which is the increasingly dominant encoding.
