Hi,

cinnamon recommends gksu, which is deprecated and
unmaintained. Thus we want to remove it from the archive.

cinnamon should switch to a supported and securer way to
become root, particularly one that doesn't mean running your whole
application as root (including the GUI), e.g. using polkit.

Please try to do this before the Stretch release as we're going to
try to remove gksu this cycle.

We'll bump this to serious when the list of rdeps is small and we're
getting ready to removing gksu completely.

If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.

https://wiki.debian.org/PolicyKit


I copy-pasted that from an older bug report. It doesn't look like gksu
will end up being removed for stretch but I believe the Release Team
would still be happy to accept updates to reduce the number of
packages depending or recommending on gksu. And I believe it probably
*will* happen for buster.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
