Package: rssh
Version: 2.3.4-3
Severity: normal

/usr/lib/rssh/rssh_chroot_helper is not setuid root by default, which
makes rssh unable to chroot.  The fix, adapted from [1]:

sudo dpkg-statoverride --update \
    --add root root 4755 /usr/lib/rssh/rssh_chroot_helper

Run dpkg-reconfigure rssh.  You apparently have your debconf prompting
priority turned down too low to be asked whether you wanted rssh to be
setuid root.  (I'm not going to do this by default, since there are a lot
of ways in which rssh is useful without it and I don't like introducing
setuid binaries unless they're really required.)
