>the lack of gksu simply makes these menu items inaccessible entirely, and many users may not know of the existence of these packages.
Installing gksu/sudo doesn't change the menu or launchers in any way. The user would still have to edit their menu launchers by hand and prefix them with gksudo, only to have them be overwritten on the next gnome-system-tools upgrade.
All gnome-system-tools ask for a root password on startup, so I see no reason why they are "inaccessible entirely". Installing the gksudo package by default does nothing to make the user more aware of its existence.
