I don't know about capabilities, but enhancing security seems to be a good
thing to me.
Also other packages depend also on libcap.
I don't mind fixing this bug, but I would like to know why. Please :-).

In fact, I was thinking about having your source package generating some
other binaries without the caps.
Anyway, I have read more about it, and here:
http://www.friedhoff.org/posixfilecaps.html
it says that it's included starting on version 2.6.24. In fact, if you
have a look at the kernel options, this options is GONE. In fact, it's
always active.
So I guess that this should have been fixed for Etch, but it's fine for
Lenny.
Excuse me for being so rude, just understand that I had to recompile
pure-ftpd without this option SO MANY TIMES that I got mad with it.
OK, thanks for your research in this matter!
