Package: dspam-webfrontend
Version: 3.6.8-8
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi !

I've just upgraded apache2, and the suexec wrapper has now its own
packages : apache2-suexec for a non configurable one, and
apache2-suexec-custom for a configurable version. The config file only
contains root dir and user dir for the suexec wrapper.
The important thing is in the NEWS file of the suexec package :
   "Also, the minimum userid that suexec is allowed to change to is now set
   "to 1000 (from 100), to disallow system users."
Great, but the only way I've found to use the dspam web ui is to run it
with the suexec module as the dspam user, and it has the 102 id number.

I really don't know if I have to report it to the dspam or apache2
package... But feel free to reaffect it to the team of your choice :)

Have a nice day !
