I adamantly disagree with your whole philosophy of adding suid bits to
random packages, and I really wish you would remove them from all
three of the above. You're just opening Debian up to a Pandora's box
of security problems.
Programs like sudo and super can handle this behavior in a much better
way - by giving specific users permission to execute specific
commands.
