Something went wrong with debhelper or something like that, and the
result was that /bin/su ended up having mode 755 instead of 4755.
Oops!  So suddenly, /bin/su didn't work.  The suggestion in this bug
report was to have a regression test within the package build to check
that the permissions of /bin/su were correct before finishing the
package build.
