Dear Maintainer,

As described in https://github.com/linux-pam/linux-pam/pull/373,
unix_chkpwd does not need to be setuid or setgid anymore if it is
given cap_dac_override via filecaps instead. I would like debian to
use filecaps instead of setgid shadow for /usr/sbin/unix_chkpwd so
that the file itself can be owned by root:root and the setgid bit can
be removed from the file. Having all files in /usr owned by root:root
is useful for image builders as it allows building debian images in a
stripped down user namespace with only the root user and nothing else
available.

Cheers,

Daan
