Bug#492620: why we need this for Lenny

Currently the kernel code only shows a warning such as "[827407.304729] 
warning: `asterisk' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)" for one 
single program.  Therefore if the program in question is a daemon started at 
boot then other programs that are being developed on the machine will not 
trigger it.  Thus using up the one warning about this situation with a daemon 
will prevent other programs from being fixed - and delays the conversion 
process for Lenny+1.

This is a safe change, the ABIs are 100% compatible.
