That makes more sense. dh_make in slink doesn't do this though, potato
might be different.

My observation (nothing more/less, however, probably a good idea
in general):

This means that it is the debian maintainer's decision to have a
SetUID program, not the upstream maintainer (as dh_fixperms overrides
anything set by the upstream Makefile).

At least, the Debian maintainer must be aware of programs that are
SetUID.
