The idea is that you provide the programs with their default setup (suid or not) and the users/admins will user dpkg-statoverride to override your default. Wichert says he will have a postinst script that converts suid.conf over to statoverride format. It seems to me that the best way to convert is to simply remove the calls to suidmanager in your install scripts. If you user debhelper and currently depend on it to add in the suidmanager calls to your postinst scripts, then most likely you wont have to do anything, except rebuild with the new debhelper when it comes around (since I'm guessing it will drop this support, in favor of dpkg's conversion).
