The rpcgen stuff is pretty confusing, even though I'm the one who made the change :) Anyway, glibc-rpcgen no longer seems to exist in rawhide, while glibc-common can't be removed because packages depend on it, so I guess there's no cleaning up required there. As for polkit-devel, I'm trying to figure out a nice way to add it to the blacklist... The current naming convention is along the lines of foo: deb: libfoo-dev rpm: foo-devel so it doesn't fit neatly in there, because we want to blacklist polkit-devel but still install polkit itself. Maybe we could have blacklist-polkit: rpm: polkit-devel or something similar as a workaround? Does that look reasonable? Alternatively we can just leave the package installed, of course :)
