Correct, it's not suid root because of security concerns, according to
this changelog entry from verison 2.1+dfsg-3:
* include /usr/lib/qemu-bridge-helper binary, but not make it setuid
due to security concerns outlined in #691138 (Closes: #691138)
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=691138: "qemu-bridge-helper
is not packaged"
I'll subscribe @paelzer for further commenting.
