These bugs are all "package with suid binaries use dh_suidregister, which
is now obsolete". This stopped packages from building with debhelper
versions >= 2.2.12 and << 3.0.0. Since the debhelper in testing is <<
2.2.12, and the debhelper in unstable is 3.0.0, this should mean all
these packages should be buildable again, which means none of the above
bugs need to be "serious" anymore (though not all of them were). Using
statoverride instead of suidmanager is still a Good Thing, though,
so they ought to stay open as wishlist requests.

Cheers,
aj
