The problem of gaining the correct access rights via a web server will remain, regardless of if this package is deprecated. Somehow, the problem will continue to need solving. Some kind of sudo wrapper, perhaps? At this time, in any case, the backuppc package for ubuntu indicates that suidperl is a required dependency, and it continues to rely on it. Hopefully, a solution will be built into backuppc in a near term future release. Thanks for the heads-up, I wasn't aware of the issue.
