Description:
unetbootin depends on either kdesudo/kdesu or gksudo/gksu in order to be able to let users run the .desktop file and authorize unetbootin.

However, depending on both gksu and kdebase-runtime would be bloat.
Depending on both as optdepends (the current situation) produces bug-reports, stating that the application doesn't work (and the dependencies are just optional, so it's hard to argue with this).

A solution to this would be if both kdebase-runtime and gksu provides 'guisudo'.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
gksu 2.0.2-4
kdebase-runtime 4.8.2-1
unetbootin 568-3

gksu is deprecated and it should die.

Use pkexec if possible. Uses polkit.
