Bug#709972: kppp doesn't need to run suid

[Mathieu Parent <math.parent@gmail.com>]

Package: kppp
Version: 4:4.8.4-1
Severity: serious

Hi maintainers,

According to Ilja's report [1] about Linux desktop security, there is
no need to run kppp suid.
According to kppp FAQ:

""There is no need for the setuid bit, if you know a bit of UNIX®
systems administration. Simply create a modem group, add all users
that you want to give access to the modem to that group and make the
modem device read/writable for that group.""
