Yes, I think it would best to have it honor $POLKIT_RULES_PATH and
$POLKIT_ACTIONS_PATH.  Apparently this would have to be done in
src/polkitbackend/polkitbackendjsauthority.c and
src/polkitbackend/polkitbackendinteractiveauthority.c.

Could you try to do this?

Once we have this patch, we can start using it, and submit it upstream
for inclusion.

Yes, that sounds like the right approach.

Thanks for looking into this!
