Agreed, but I as the administrator would need to configure things
in /var/lib/polkit-1 in order to customize the settings. This is usually
done in /etc and called "configuration".

Not really sure about 20-org.d and 30-site.d because after reading the
manpage I still don't fully understand the meanings of "the organization
deploying the system" (GNOME, KDE, Xfce? My company?) and "site
deploying the system" (what does "site" mean in this context?).

Anyway, I think we both agree that 50-local.d definitely contains
"host-specific configuration data", do we?
