If they don't drop gksu package (never ever surely), and only nautilus-gksu it's no big deal.
Just use nautilus actions package (in repos) or even nautilus actions extra package to add that 'open as administrator' function to the right click menu.

You can always fire nautilus from a root shell.
You can create a shortcut that does that ...
