I do not think it is a good idea to use su-to-root inside .desktop file, because this would make such .desktop file Debian-specific (and thus would not be integrated upstream). Instead a freedesktop approved remplacement to su-to-root should be provided by xdg-utils. > This would have the benefit of making su-to-root OR depend, instead of just > suggest, on the several packages which provide a su* wrapper ensuring its > functionality. Given that su-to-root can use plain su which is Essential: yes, I do not see the advantage of such OR depend which will always be satisfied.
