Description

This class: distro_packaging_util.py is horrible and buggy (no '-A' option with gksudo on some distros) so replace it with ​packagekit.

There are dbus bindings: ​example and decent ​usage docs

r4936 uses gpk-install-package-name is available and r4937 adds support for KDE's apper.

Finally, r4938 does it all properly using pure dbus calls (the others are used as fallback only)
