uml-utilities installs uml-net setuid root and only executable by a
privileged group.  If you want to use preconfigured tap, you can
dpkg-statoverride it to be not setuid and executable by everyone.

Now that persistent tap devices are becoming more common, perhaps I should
reconsider this default.  Feedback is welcome.
