Bug#537202: zaptel-source: fails to build against 2.6.30: error: 'struct proc_dir_entry' has no member named 'owner'

[Ean Schuessler]

Package: zaptel-source
Version: 1:1.4.11~dfsg-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

It appears that the kernel developers have removed the owner field from procfs because it is
"racy" and it is now implicitly set by other operations. The fix is to simply remove attempts
to set the owner.
