Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.1.0-13
Severity: normal

The following code in the postinst script is outrageous:

        if ! dpkg-statoverride --list /sbin/mount.nfs >/dev/null 2>&1; then
            dpkg-statoverride --update --add root root 4755 /sbin/mount.nfs
        fi

This is completely insane, IMHO.  If you need /sbin/mount.nfs suid
root, as #432581 seems to suggest, why don't you simply fix the
permissions in your package instead of fiddling around with
dpkg-statoverride which is mainly intended for the system
administrator's use?!
