Hi! Yep, I'll take a look at this - depending on the state of the Aptcc backend and if I cen see that PK 0.8.x will be stable enough before feature freeze, I will prepare a package and submit it for review.
(And disable the systemd stuff at first, I'm still waiting on a decision on systemd-usage from Debian, but I think this will be allowed for Wheezy+1)
Using systemd-logind without systemd is a major pain, you would probably have to write a compat-layer for systemd ot provide it's functionality in a different way... Talked with Lennart Poettering about something similar some months ago, and he doubted it was possible. (at least not easy)
I'll stay informed, it would be awesome to be able to use systemd-logind, as it has so many advantages over the old ConsoleKit.

Btw, I have requested sync of the latest PK stable from Debian as bug #1022475, all Ubuntu changes are in that package too. It is important that you at Ubuntu support the Aptcc backend of PK if you can, because the Apt backend is in a very bad state at time, so we weren't able to ship it in Wheezy.

I think we can have a PK from the 0.8.x series in Quantal, the next Fedora will have it too. (The 0.8 series brings lots of awesome new features for distributors to use)
Bye, and thanks for the hint! :-)
