retitle 717544 CVE-2013-2207: Remove pt_chown
thanks

Can we please make another attempt at removing pt_chown, either
completely or by removing the SUID bit?  The current devpts file
system is set up in such a way that this is not necessary.  Fedora and
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 already ship without pt_chown, apparently
without ill effects.  The Debian software I have checked sets up
/dev/pts with the gid=5 option, which means that pt_chown should be
unnecessary as well.

We also need to get this change into stable, maybe even oldstable.
