After pondering about this a bit more, I found the following note when
reinstalling polkit once more:

---
[1/1] Extracting polkit-0.118: 100%
You may need to manually remove
/usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.conf if it is no
longer needed.
---

And indeed, the file is gone again. So the state of the system above was
as designed (whithout the file), but it didn't work for me. So something's
fishy here. Either the system should work without the file, or the message
is wrong.
