Works for me.  Perhaps you should have tried the underscore instead of the
hyphen :-)  If you just tried:

# adept<tab>

bash completion should show you the actual command.

gksu?  gksudo?  Not knowing gnome, I'm not sure which, but:

# gksudo /usr/bin/adept_updater

(though the /usr/bin shouldn't be necessary)
