The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Is not required but practical... The purpose is to have a good place to 
know which programs are suid. suidregister registers each package in 
/etc/suid.conf with all the good information. It was easy to use 
(suidregister [-s my_package] filename user group permissions )  
and an admin can easily warp it so he will be warn if anything are change.

Add this to a restrictive dpkg who remove all suid off the package (why 
not make it the standard ?) and you will have, in a snap, a more secure 
system.

just my 2 pennies.
