this is by design. in the interest of erring on the side of safety, we don't
ship setuid root plugins. i'd *swear* that we had documented this in
README.Debian, but now that i look i don't see anything about this.
anyway, you can override the permissions for the files manually, by using
dpkg-statoverride, which will preserve changed permissions such as u+s across
package upgrades.
would it be okay to close the bug after updating the docs to reflect this, or
would you prefer to leave it open as wishlist/wontfix?
