Hi Moritz,

90 percent of the hardening via '*dpkg-buildflags*'? That's
a good information. I'd hoped, that the majority of all base
packages and that's security-sensitive will be protected
well. It's really a huge satisfaction.

One more thing - does Debian include something like e.g.
Ubuntu or openSUSE does? I mean a Security Features field.
To mention a few: *setuid* binaries (kept to minimum),
minimal set of daemons in the default instalation, no open
ports or *ptrace scope* (via /kernel/yama/ptrace_scope sysctl),
and so on. What about kernel hardening?

Sorry for such question, but all of these issues are important
for a couple of sysadmins. Already mentioned, Ubuntu and
openSUSE, doing a great job.

I think, that now I can perform an upgrade process from
*Squeeze* to *Wheezy*, without any uncertainty.

Best regards.
