Title:
  gksu is on live cd but not being installed

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  So post install if a user uses gksudo <whatever> they'll be prompted
  to install gksu. That's great & all but many users will be unaware
  that gksu defaults to "su" & will be looking for the root password
  which isn't what the user will know or expect.

  If you have pkexec replacements for common uses great though I don't
  see as yet... (gedit, nautilus, gdebi, ect.
