Package: debian-policy Version: 3.5.2.0 Severity: wishlist The man page for dh_suidregister says that any package containing a SUID/SGID binary no longer needs to use suidregister, instead, users can use dpkg-statoverride as necessary.
Policy (section 11.9, "Permissions and Owners") doesn't talk about either way, but it should mention that suidregister should no longer be used; also, that packages previously using suidregister should Conflict: with suidmanager (<< 0.50). If I understand dpkg-statoverride correctly, mentioning that dpkg-statoverride is not to be called from maintainer post/pre install scripts should also be added.
