Comment 4 for bug 1713311

@Norbert

Glad to see you listing the affected apps. It should be good to merge the different reports already made into a single, like that one.

But i wonder if Debian packaging & Ubuntu packaging have followed the same transition from the past. Histotic ubuntu transition has been gksu/gksudo -> pkexec and also some packagekit -> pkexec; now wayland force to move to packagekit again.
