This works for me:

pkg=smbfs

grep "^$pkg\>" /etc/suid.conf | ( \
        while read spkg file user group mode ; do \
                if [ "$spkg" != "$pkg" ] ; then \
                        dpkg-statoverride --add $user $group $mode $file ; \
                fi ; \
                suidunregister $file ; \
        done \
)
