[TEAM]Gksu/do

[Sean Davis]

I did some quick research, and it seems that gksu(do) were removed in favor
of pkexec, and we followed suit.  However, since we do not ship any policy
files, it does not really help.  Should we consider bringing gksu(do) back,
or work to include policy files for apps we support?
