Had I known of rmadison's existence, I might have used it.

I am using buster, upgraded from stretch. A quick look at my various apt
sources.list files indicate I am not using any non-buster repos. So why
did gksu show up in my buster apt cache? Since it is also on my system,
and works, I conjecture that it was not removed at the time of the
dist-upgrade.

Checking another machine that had a fresh installation of buster, gksu
is not installed and "apt-cache search gksu" returns nothing.

Curiouser and curiouser.
