Well, is the analysis in Bug#453931 incorrect? Is there something done on
Live CDs that lets this work? I see that Ubuntu actually patches menu to
make su-to-root always use sudo, which makes me think that Ubuntu has run
into exactly the same problem and is using the same solution as the Debian
Live team. Isn't any package that depends on gksu broken in a Live
environment?
