Because all others are no more available in Debian and plain sudo
doesn't make sense for a GUI application to me.

No. gksu is the right tool for the majority of users, so it should be
installed with default settings. But since it's only a Recommends, you
are free to uninstall (or choose to not install) it at any time.
Dropping it to Suggest would mean the admin would have to select it
explicitly to get it installed. That's not what we want.
I'm though open to any alternative recommendation in addition to gksu.
I'm just not aware of any package suitable as alternative to gksu.
Regards, Axel
