Hi,
network-config depends on gksu, which is deprecated and unmaintained.
Thus we want to remove it from the archive.
network-config should switch to a supported and securer way to become
root, particularly one that doesn't mean running your whole
application as root (including the GUI), e.g. using polkit.
Please try to do this before the Stretch release as we're going to
try to remove gksu this cycle.
We'll bump this to serious when the list of rdeps is small and we're
getting ready to removing gksu completely.
If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers, Emilio
