  Description     : command line utility to run programs as root

 This is the new generation of gksu, a simple utility to run programs
 as root, even in X-based environments. This version uses the new
 libgksu-polkit library, which uses PolicyKit for authorization
 purposes and a D-Bus service to actually perform the work.

This package aims to replace the current gksu and libgksu packages;
I'm going to work on a migration path.
