It's not part of the base install, so save for checkbox-gtk, we never explicitly declared it.

Before just going ahead and adding it as a dependency, we need to ask the desktop team; they were the ones who removed it from the desktop CD (to community upheaval) so if checkbox simply re-adds it there will be... trouble.

One thing to try would be modifying the plugins/backend_info to try to use pkexec (try gksu, if not present try pkexec, if not present either fall back to sudo). Then seeing if that works well as I recall plainbox using pkexec exposed some strange problems in the tests.
