Thanks for bringing this up!

Can you confirm if all this is correct?

- Only packages uploaded after 2022-08-07 (when glibc 2.34 hit unstable)
are potentially affected.

- Packages with "Rules-Requires-Root: no" are never affected.

- No intervention from individual maintainers is required for fixing this,
as we already have a binNMU mechanism which we already use for transitions.

- A minor observation: Only packages which use dh_fixperms with -X (or --exclude)
are apparently affected. Those which instead do chmod/chown after dh_fixperms
are apparently not affected, at least after the first fakeroot bug (2022-11)
was fixed.

Thanks.
