I fixed this problem by running: chmod -R a-s /usr/src
I didn't create /usr/src. I guess it was created when I installed the
kernel source package. Is this a problem with the kernel source
package?
I've not got a guaranteed-virgin Debian system to hand but I've
certainly got a number where Debian kernel sources have never been
installed- in fact where I've not knowingly told Debian to install any
source packages.
Looking at one of those I see
$ stat /usr

Thanks for the news about that annoying kernel bug being fixed.
