Bug#293830: gksu: Please package sudo functionality separate from su functionality

[William Ballard]

Package: gksu
Version: 1.2.2-1
Severity: normal

I think it should be permissible to have synaptic on one's machine and 
not have sudo.  synaptic depends on gksu, but doesn't require sudo to 
run.  sudo is a security risk -- I don't want it, but I want programs 
that require the ability to su graphically.

su and sudo are in separate packages -- for good reason.
