Package: ssmtp
Version: 2.64-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

I don't know if we should fix this, as this happens only to people who
have installed the previously broken ssmtp 2.64-3 (and below?) which
inserted the dpkg-statoverride rule. 2.64-4 doesn't do that anymore but
the statoverride rule is not removed, so that ssmtp will continue to get
suid privileges on reinstall, etc.

I guess the problem is that statoverride isn't meant for debian packages
to change, but for admins to state overrides on permissions. 

Anyway, this hasn't ever been in any stable releases, so it will only
affect people who have followed unstable or testing through the broken
packages.

Thanks,

Guido
