request for guidance
Since suidregister was removed, packages are now allowed to ship items with the
set[gs]id flag on. This is currently a lintian warning. I have considered
removing it (and bugs ask me to do so) however I am not sure it is the right
thing to do. The warning lets the developer know that they are shipping
possibly hazardous/security threatening/will cause bugs later items. So, do I
leave it and let people use overrides? Or do i remove them and hope the rest
of debian does not miss an accidental permission setting from upstream?
