I noticed after installing policykit that it created a new user and group

while the uid was 1001.  Should a system service like that really have a uid
below 1000 (like other service accounts) and a gid above 1000 (which is what
users are given).

Looks to me like it might be a bug, but thought I'd get some input on it
before raising my first bug against an Arch package :-)

Probably the install script should use:
  "groupadd --system policykit"
in the install script.

Yes.  I raised a bug about it.
