Indeed. The issue, specifically, is that, when unpacked as a non-root user, the extracted file *isn't* setuid as the unpacking user is unable to create a file with the relevant permission bit set. Thanks for the patch; for consistency with the expressions used elsewhere in Lintian, I've applied a simpler version: "s/:\s+[^,]*\bELF \b.+$//g".
