By default, Debian installation of bacula-fd runs it as root user so having that option is pointless in current state of things. However, the benefits of it are quite obvious and can potentially be useful for quite a wide range of users in my opinion. Upstream documentation about the "-k" option - http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/New_Features_in_5_0_0.html#SECTION001080000000000000000 I wouldn't mind adding this option however still stick to running bacula-fd as a root user by default; if someone wants to make use of "-k" option functionality they'll be able to do so via utilising /etc/default/bacula-fd overrides.
