I can understand this, but you should probaly document that it is not a
replacement for suidmanager, but more of a tool that gets rid of the need
for it in the package's config scripts. We don't want people doing
s/suidmanager/dpkg-statoverride/ in the package scripts, they should
generally be able to remove it altogether :)
