 After installing mythtv from ppa:mythbuntu/0.29 running mythtv-setup fails
 to setup mythtv group membership due to gksu not being found.

 Note although done in virtualbox, the same problem happens on a bare metal
 install.

 Installing gksu resolves the issue, there is a recent change in this area
 of packaging.

 If installing mythtv 29 from bionic/multiverse this issue does not arise
 as gksu is pulled in (multiverse build precedes ppa:mythbuntu/0.29 build).

 The same issue (no gksu) is also present for ppa:mythbuntu/30
