gksu is an unnecessary dependency which drags in gtk3, libgnome-keyring, colord, etc.. gparted works fine with other ways of running graphical application as root, such as sux, and I think the user should be able to choose what they use. |

I think it's better to set the provides variable for all these

choose while installing.
Starting from gparted-0.14.0-3, gksu is not a required dependency
anymore.
