I think the best solution to this problem would be to resolve:
http://bugs.debian.org/492493
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.release/19273
by either convincing the menu maintainer and the debianutils maintainer
(who I think is already convinced) to move su-to-root into debianutils,
where it would always be available, or by doing what the menu maintainer
wanted and introducing an xdg-* utility into xdg-utils that does the same
thing. Allowing hard dependencies on gksu just reintroduces Bug#453931,
and I really don't believe it's the correct solution.
