Public bug reported: I have a server where the group ID for the suexec binary is set to other than www-data.
Whenever an update occurs, all web sites with scripting which depend on suexec break. This can happen at any time as I have automatic updates enabled. Once I receive complaints, I must log in and re-set the GID on /var/lib/apache2/suexec I consider the group ID on the suexec binary as a system setting. This system setting is wiped on update. Please change the package scripts so that they preserve the ownership and permissions on suexec.
