[Nix-dev] etc activation script & pkexec

Hi!

I've spent some time trying to investigate why pkexec started to crash.

It seems that our 'etc' activation script ignored the fact that 
/etc/polkit-1 is a symlink to /etc/static/polkit-1, and created a symlink 
from /etc/polkit-1/nullbackend.conf.d to 
/etc/static/polkit-1/nullbackend.conf.d.

As a result, I had a symlink from /etc/static/polkit/nullbackend.conf.d to 
itself, and pkexec crashed.
