Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.0-5
Severity: important
The latest snapshots of the debian installer allow root to have no
password (pure sudo system). Since gksu seems to default to su behavior
instead of sudo behavior, this breaks all of gnomes admin menu items. I
think gksu should check whether root has a password and if not it should
default to gksudo behavior.
