I still think that bacula-fd should run as root by default, as restores
will not work correctly otherwise. Those that know what they do can then
switch to running it as non-root (probably nobody.nogroup).

Maybe a debconf question with a priority below default, defaulting to
running as root. This would allow for preseeding.

In my eyes, this is sufficient to close the wontfix-bug.
