Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.1.1-11
Severity: important

The file /sbin/mount.nfs in recent versions of the nfs-common package is
marked as unreadable by all users.  This is a violation of a policy
"should"; from Policy 10.9:

     Setuid and setgid executables should be mode 4755 or 2755
     respectively, and owned by the appropriate user or group.  They should
     not be made unreadable (modes like 4711 or 2711 or even 4111); doing
     so achieves no extra security, because anyone can find the binary in
     the freely available Debian package; it is merely inconvenient.

Yes, it is inconvenient.  Please fix this.

Thanks,
