Here is a list of files from Debian source packages that will require
this patch:
axyl-2.1.9/db/postgres/install-db.sh
dwww-1.9.26/dwww-format-man
findutils-4.2.26/locate/updatedb.sh (this one should fail safely)
interchange-5.3.2/debian/interchange.cron.daily
popularity-contest-1.31/debian/cron.weekly
powersave-0.9.25/scripts/wm_shutdown
usermin-1.160/web-lib-funcs.pl
usermin-1.160/commands/run.cgi
ditto for webmin

(These files were found in the source packages, and thus they may not be
used in the binary packages)
A few other packages should be fixed because they use -s after the
username in their documentation/comments.

I found them by greping for "\<su\>" in the debian native packages, the
packages with a cron job and the packages installing an init.d file (only
in the i386 arch for these two categories).
I did not checked the embedded tar balls of the packages.

(arround 1500 packages were checked)
