Uploaded to impish, waiting in queue for the SRU team to review.

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * the `firejail` binary, which is the main thing this package does, is
+ inoperable.
+ 
+  * For some reason that I couldn't quickly determine the current build
+ of 0.9.64.4-2 doesn't have the +s flag on the binary that it should have
+ 
+  * It's most likely due to some kind of toolchain bug of back then when
+ this was built, as a no-change rebuild (what I'm proposing here) fixes
+ the problem
+ 
+ [Test Plan]
+ 
+  * install the package
+ 
+  * run whatever command under firejail, currently it errors out, and it
+ should not.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+  * This is no-change rebuild, if something were to break doing that it
+ would be problematic in many bigger ways than this single package...
+ 
+ 
+ [Original report]
+ 
+ 
  Try e.g. firejail --debug --version
  
  Expected outcome
  firejail working
  
  Observed outcome
  Error mkdir: util.c:1019 create_empty_dir_as_root: Permission denied

  Likely this is because the SUID bit is not set for /usr/bin/firejail.
  It was set in, at least, 21.04, is set in all checked debian packaged, 
"Firejail is a SUID security sandbox program (...)" and firejail works if it is 
set manually.
  Also compare to https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4609
