Please remove packagekit from GNOME profile
Speaking as the maintainer of GNOME on Arch, please remove packagekit from the `gnome` profile.

It's split out from the rest of gnome-software for a reason - packagekit is utterly unsupported. I've never seen it work reliably and it breaks our assumptions about user attention during upgrades.
