[Merge] lp:~mterry/update-notifier/pkexec into lp:update-notifier

[Michael Terry]

Michael Terry has proposed merging lp:~mterry/update-notifier/pkexec into lp:update-notifier.

Requested reviews:
  Ubuntu Core Development Team (ubuntu-core-dev)

For more details, see:

Finally drops gksu completely.  Last holdouts were a couple data/ scripts.

There is a slight regression in user experience.  When launching synaptic, the user will see that "/usr/sbin/synaptic" needs permission, instead of a nice translation of the name "Synaptic".

But I think it's worth it.  Synaptic isn't on the default Ubuntu install anyway, and some flavors will prefer pkexec to gksu.
