Not "alone", but quite fine for a GUI - and compared to gksu in a very
different league:

$ apt show lxqt-sudo | grep Depends    # beowulf
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), liblxqt0 (>= 0.14.1~), libqt5core5a (>=
5.11.0~rc1), libqt5gui5 (>= 5.7.0), libqt5widgets5 (>= 5.0.2),
libstdc++6 (>= 6)

$ apt show gksu | grep Depends        # jessie
Depends: gconf-service, libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.12.4), libc6 (>= 2.4),
libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.11), libfreetype6 (>=
