Package: pwsafe
Version: 0.2.0-3
Severity: normal

Pwsafe issues warnings about its not being a setuid binary. However, since
kernel 2.6.8, according to the mlock(2) manual page, the mlock() function is
available to unprivileged processes within limits that can be specified by
ulimit.

Pwsafe should silently lock the memory without having to be setuid on newer
systems.
