suid.conf is a configuration file that keeps track of what certain file
permissions should be. If the file in question is registered in
suid.conf and you modify the permissions by hand the cron script will
automatically change it back.

suidregister, suidunregister are the two 'programs' that should be used
to modify suid.conf. These are typically called by the Debian packages
that set up the system files. But the root user can also run it by
hand to add individual files to the list of files to manage.
