as to the "why not" of this, I don't have an answer. Building a .deb 
package isn't a huge task and would make uninstalling *much* easier than 
the current kludge.

(as an aside, note that gksudo has been deprecated for some time now in 
favor of pkexec, and is no longer included in most modern distros. But 
no doubt you meant "sudo" anyway.)
