freedesktop.modules was broken; it listed PolicyKit as a dependency of
hal-0-5-7.  I just removed it and committed the change to cvs.  You'll
need to exit/quit/kill your currently running jhbuild, update your
jhbuild checkout ('cvs -q -z3 update -Pd' in the directory where
jhbuild was checked out), and then restart jhbuild at hal-0-5-7 by
running
 jhbuild build -t hal-0-5-7
