One way to use sudo with a GUI application is to start it with a
script which just starts the applications using sudo. Like this:

#!/bin/sh
sudo mycoolapp

Just add the script to the application menu, update sudoers from
postinst and that's it. 

Yeah, it's ugly but works. I have never even bothered to see how to
set setuid bits from a debian package.

If anyone has better way to do that, I'm all ears.
