Package: update-notifier
Version: 0.41.3-1
Severity: important

update-notifier appears to be primarily intended as a gnome package but can run 
under KDE.
/usr/share/doc/update-notifier/README says that this package requires gksu to 
run 
and this requirement is not reflected in the package information.

apt-cache show update-notifier does not mention gksu and if you don't have gksu 
installed (as with probably most KDE systems) then update-notifier displays the 
icon in the notification area but none of the menu options work.

Shouldn't gksu at least be included as suggested if not as depends?
