The main reason is that pkexec requires a policy file for each allowed
command. See e.g. the one for gnome-system-log.
There’s nothing that couldn’t be solved with a debhelper script, but so
far laziness won.

Then, regarding su-to-root, it belongs in the menu package, whose
maintainer would probably not accept such a change – just a guess.

Cheers,
