Hmmm ,if you create a new file in the /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/ directory, i.e. 52-root-pw.conf with the following content:
Code:
[Configuration]
AdminIdentities=unix-user:0
then you don't have to worry about the upgrades.
I guess, I should re-read the polkit documentation

During the installation you are allowed to set up a weak password.
