This is something easier said then done. As you understand gksudo is 
used for more things than installing packages. So in order to get a 
dialog looking like the one you drew, one would have to either
1) Redo gksudo to make it possible for the applications to supply custom 
dialog elements (say in glade XML or something)
2) Redo applications to talk to libgksu themselves and have their own 
password dialogs
In both cases there is an immence amount of work involved.
