Stef, has the pkttyagent functionality actually ever worked? AFAICS the restrictions on subjects had been there even before pkttyagent has been added:
The message comes from commit 42177383585e1e01cd6150f891176afcd4538a82, Aug 12 2010 - which was actually expanding the subjects agents can be registered for, from session only to session or process.
--system-bus-name comes from commit 13c5b2ebcdc81c4841e2d455cbb8dd7c58057043 , May 29 2009 - actually adding it to pkcheck(1), not pkttyagent(1).
bda0fc1de3361fc6f377d041ce2088118048fdf7, Apr 11 2012, then added pkttyagent(1), very likely copy&pasting a lot of code from pkcheck(1).
