Not all packages use suidmanager and thus the list in /etc/suid.conf is
not complete.
: Also why are there file in /etc/suid.conf that are not suid at all:
: debmake /usr/bin/build root root 755
: debmake /usr/bin/debpkg root root 755
Suidmanager manages configurable permissions in general not only suid
permissions.
These binaries can be made suid. For example on my system:
user /usr/bin/build root wheel 4754
user /usr/bin/debpkg root wheel 4754
I dont need sudo or other contraptions to build packages. More in
/usr/doc/debmake. I can just type "build" and a packages goes through
the complete build process.
