Details

Since both gksu and kdesu provide a means to allow for graphical entry into su, supplying a 'provides=foo' for both packages will allow for users to select which one they wish to use much like libgl can be satisfied by either 1) mesa-libgl 2) nvidia-304xx-libgl 3) nvidia-340xx-libgl or 4) nvidia-libgl.

Allan has suggested this addition[1] to intelligently and flexibly satisfy this dependency of packages such as AUR/backintime.
