Package: libcap-bin,linux-2.6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The Debian kernels does not give the CAP_SETPCAP capability to the root
user, so the utilities in libcap-bin are not usable.

In my case this is a problem since the 2.6.18 kernel has added 
/dev/net/tun to the CAP_SYS_ADMIN list. This means only the root user can
access this file, whatever the permissions of this file are. setpcaps or 
sucap can't change that. This is a regression from the 2.6.17 kernel.
