Solving this properly is actually a bit tricky as the traceroute package that shares its alternatives with traceroute-nanog doesn't suffer from the root-only restriction these days, and it would be rather confusing to handle the alternatives in /usr/sbin different from /usr/bin. I'm tempted to sidestep this issue by letting traceroute supersede the nanog variant for good, and simply drop the -nanog package from Debian. Daniel, what's the status of the nanog emulation in traceroute proper these days? Are you aware of any relevant features still missing?
