I guess that libgnomesu was also in your above list. The libgnomesu
package has the gnomesu utility which does the same thing as gksu or
kdesu. That might be an incentive to keep it in the repo if someone wants
to maintain it.

Libgnomesu was imported into the repositories for gnome-cups-manager. I was
against adding it, though I had no option: replacing the su helper to gksu
didn't work those days.

Gnome-cups-manager seems to depend on a "gnomesu" package now, which also
provides this binary. I think we can remove libgnomesu.

hdoria asked for a removal of gnome-system-tools & depends from Unstable.
We can do this during this cleanup round.
The replacement in Community is up-to-date now, and patches sent upstream.

There's been more up to date patches elsewhere for a while. tiacx was in
-mm, and there might have been a rewrite somewhere around for the new
wireless frameworks. Havn't looked since I stopped maintaining beyond,
so I've got no idea of the status now.

I'll take it if nobody wants it

Jeff actually uses it, so he's a better maintainer.

I use this in my own suspend script. It's used in other scripts too. It
fixes problems with various laptop displays not returning. I'll adopt.

Cheers!

Adopted. I don't have the hardware, but jra pokes me everytime it needs
an update, and then tests it. Current out-of-tree version is still the
only reliable one, but an in-kernel mac80211-ish rewrite is in the works.
