With all due respect, I think you misunderstood the problem.
The problem here is that "dh_fixperms" runs *before* "dh_suidregister".
This is how dh_make, from slink does it. I have heard potato
might be that same.
1. dh_fixperms removes the setuid bit.
2. dh_suidregister fails to register the program, since the setuid
bit was already removed. dh_suidregister cannot remove the
suid bit, as it was already removed.
This seems like a bug in dh_make. dh_fixperms should run after
dh_suidregister, or not at all.
