Indeed libgksu/natty-proposed accepts password 3 times, from this aspect -proposed package works fine.
But gksu outputs "3 incorrect password attempts" per 1 attempt. Although it seems not to have actual harm, this behaviour is strange.

==========
$ gksu 'echo 1'
GNOME_SUDO_PASS #### <- beginning of first attempt
Sorry, try again.
GNOME_SUDO_PASS
Sorry, try again.
