After installing mythtv from ppa:mythbuntu/0.29 running mythtv-setup fails

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
