Precisely. Place a file in /etc/sudoers.d with a command that you want whitelisted for running as root via sudo (standard sudoers syntax), instead, and run "update-sudoers" in the postinst and postrm scripts of the package.

Put the equivalent of that into your favourite solution for using D-Bus in an app (DBus-GLib, libosso, python-osso, python-dbus, libdbus, QDBus, ..)
