KDESU Not Accesible/Doesn't Work After Update

After upgrading, to KDE 6, "kdesu" does not work, Doing it via krunner does nothing. Trying it in Konsole says "command not found"

$ ksesu xxxx
bash: kdesu: command not found

Not found?:
$ pacman -Qs:
local/kdesu 6.0.0-1 (kf6)
    Integration with su for elevated privileges
local/kdesu5 5.115.0-1 (kf5)
    Integration with su for elevated privileges

So what gives. How to fix this?

The actual file /usr/bin/kdesu used to be part of of kde-cli-tools but isn't anymore.
I guess KDE don't want users using it ?
It was only a symlink to /usr/lib/kf5/kdesu anyway.

That is now /usr/lib/kf6/kdesu

Either link /usr/lib/kf6/kdesu to /usr/bin/kdesu or set up an alias
