Thanks for this PR. Do you think that there are side effects on Arch or Fedora with this script?

github.com/mylinuxforwork/pull/1333 replaces the hardcoded
polkit-gnome exec-once with a script that probes several install
locations plus PATH. Needed here: this repo's hardcoded path
(/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/...) doesn't match Ubuntu's actual
policykit-1-gnome package layout (/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/...) --
confirmed live neither the package nor that path exist on this box,
so the polkit-gnome exec-once has been silently doing nothing this
whole time. Added Ubuntu's real path to the probe list and added
policykit-1-gnome to packages-ubuntu so it's actually installed.

…'s flat path

Adds the explanatory comment breaking down which distro uses which
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 install path, and restores upstream
PR mylinuxforwork#1333's original flat /usr/lib/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
entry that was dropped when this was first ported. No hyprpolkitagent
logic here -- keeping that as a separate concern for now, staying
inline with upstream master plus PR mylinuxforwork#1669 and PR mylinuxforwork#1333 only.
