DeviceKit support was never functionally equivalent to the HAL support,
I'm wondering if we can just drop DeviceKit support. It also drags in
glib, which is a separate problem. Opinions?
Yes, we should kill the devicekit backend - upstream have pretty much
killed the base devicekit daemon itself anyway telling people to use
libudev instead. Devicekit was a still-born idea :-(
