Package: apt-listbugs
Version: 0.1.28
Severity: normal

Hi,

I was rather suprised to have the whole suite of s6 supervision
binaries installed on my system.
Turns out the s6 package was installed by apt-listbugs via Recommends
[1]. It looks to me, that all the functionality that you need is
provided by either setpriv or runuser.
Both those tools are shipped by util-linux and thus available on every
system, as util-linux is marked as essential.
Please consider dropping the dependency on s6 / s6-setuidgid an use
either setpriv or runuser (it's not entirely clear if you want a PAM
session or not in your case. If not, the former tool is what you want).

Regards,
Michael
