Binary package hint: makejail

This bug was reported against Debian in the first place. See [1]. The
DDs however found that the bug was caused downstream by an Ubuntu
specific change.

makejail defines as a default:
self.pathToLdConfig="/sbin/ldconfig"

On Ubuntu this is not the real ldconfig but a bash shell script.

Therefore the config should point to
self.pathToLdConfig="/sbin/ldconfig.real". Otherwise a bash shell 
will be introduced into *all* jails, introducing an
unnecessary security risk.
