I vaguely recall a discussion about this that I think ended up at the conclusion that the unit of security granularity should be the service; i.e. not interfaces or methods.

In other words the config file for 3rd party services should just be:

<user="root">
  <allow service="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit"/>
</user>

This would fit in with the trend of using PolicyKit for more fine grained authorization too.
