I think you are misunderstood me :-(

If you follow my original post, I understand current "su" is from shadow
and it is in login package.  I even have my box set up with PAM(wheel).

Your changelog entry say you removed it.(i386)  I am confused with your
comment.  You must be right since you are the maintainer but that is not
what I see here.  

If I do "info su", manual page comes out (testing machine).

sh-utils (2.0.12-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
  * no more FAKE_SPARC in uname
  * no more info file! (coreutils.info resides in fileutils for
    now. I'll deal with this more elegantly in a future release.)
  * minor debian/rules changes
