The best workaround I found was published here :

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1030054/how-to-install-an-application-that-requires-gksu-package-on-ubuntu-18-04

and boiled down to this :

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/libg/libgksu/libgksu2-0_2.0.13~pre1-9ubuntu2_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./libgksu2-0_2.0.13~pre1-9ubuntu2_amd64.deb

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gksu/gksu_2.0.2-9ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./gksu_2.0.2-9ubuntu1_amd64.deb
