[arch-general] Policykit, uid like a service, and gid like a user

I noticed after installing policykit that it created a new user and
group (both called policykit). The thing that surprised me was the uid
was 102 while the uid was 1001. Should a system service like that
really have a uid below 1000 (like other service accounts) and a gid
above 1000 (which is what users are given).
Looks to me like it might be a bug, but thought I'd get some input on it
before raising my first bug against an Arch package :-)
