As Steve pointed out, the permissions on gtk-gnutella's binary look fine:

$ ls -l `which gtk-gnutella`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2726984 Oct 15 19:00 /usr/bin/gtk-gnutella*

Submitter, please note that the setuid bits are off, so gtk-gnutella
will run as whoever invokes it, and not as root. The binary is owned
by root so that nobody other than root will be able to modify it.

It is true that gtk-gnutella does not start, and there are half a
dozen or so open bug reports concerning this; maybe someone could
merge them? From reading these, I understand that because any version
has only a 90-day useful lifetime, the package will not be in Etch.

I also see that there has been some discussion of putting it into
volatile. That sounds like the right answer to me. Can someone
(preferably without starting another flame fest) please explain the
outcome of that discussion?

In the meantime, maintainers, could you please upload a newer version
to experimental?

Thanks
