In fact, I was thinking about having your source package generating some other binaries without the caps. Anyway, I have read more about it, and here: http://www.friedhoff.org/posixfilecaps.html it says that it's included starting on version 2.6.24. In fact, if you have a look at the kernel options, this options is GONE. In fact, it's always active. So I guess that this should have been fixed for Etch, but it's fine for Lenny. Excuse me for being so rude, just understand that I had to recompile pure-ftpd without this option SO MANY TIMES that I got mad with it.
