Package: iputils-ping
Version: 3:20121221-5+b1
Severity: minor
Usertags: verbose

When upgrading iputils-ping I got the message that ping is not setuid.
While that is good news, it is debug output that is not useful for most
users. People who care about capabilities vs setuid can run getcap/ls to
check. Please remove all the echo commands from the postinst or at least
make them not do anything unless a verbose option is enabled.
