From the Software Center wiki [1]:
Later versions may include recommendation features, replace Synaptic, APTonCD,
and most of the Computer Janitor, and integrate with Update Manager. Replacing
other utilities will make handling software easier, improve user safety, free
space on the Ubuntu CD,
I agree, PolicyKit is generally better than gksu, but I think most
resources are going towards adding features to software-center to bring
it up to feature parity with update-manager and synaptic. Also, update-
manager still uses gksu.

Convert
In Maverick update-manager uses PolicyKit. I also believe that software-
center is going to be a friendly channel to install software from, but
as synaptic is a complex and powerful software why would we bother
porting all of its functionality over?
