Bug#828686: ITP: no-new-privs -- Set PR_NO_NEW_PRIVS before executing another program



Hi,
(cc'ing mentors since you already filed an RFS [1])

I don't mean to discourage you, but doesn't setpriv --no-new-privs
already do that? It's available in Stretch and sid, in the package
setpriv, built from src:util-linux.

[1] Also, weirdly, I didn't see your ITP on debian-devel for some
    reason.
