As for this part, nm.  I spent a few minutes looking at what was going
on a just ran:

$ sudo -H -u root -- /usr/sbin/synaptic --hide-main-window --non-
interactive --parent-window-id 127926276 --progress-str Please wait,
this can take some time. --finish-str Update is complete --set-
selections-file /home/brian/tmp/tmpu06MAC

Which of course does the installation I wanted.  I will kill off the
blocked sudo/gksu processes when this synaptic is done.
