Thank you for helping to fix this bug! Your procedure to compile is 100% correct.

The missing option is simply disabled in the latest bzr version - see debian/changelog:
  * disable 'Lock Version' and 'Automatically installed' menu entries for a
    normal user (LP: #309906)

I could reproduce the issue with the menu-entry and su-to-root. The Ubuntu package seems to patch these menu entries to change "su-to-root " to "gksu" (see debian/patches/06_ubuntu_su_to_root.dpatch). The "sudo make install" seems to replace but not patch an existing menu entry in your user profile. Right-clicking the menu I found "su-to-root", which is wrong! The problem might be related to Bug #512577.

In short: missing option and failing menu entry is not caused by my patch.

Could you test my patch again in a terminal with "gksudo synaptic" (for root) and with "synaptic" (for users)?
