I'm facing the same problem in Ubuntu 10.04. The suid is properly set:
k...@ktk7:~$ ls -al /usr/bin/screen
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 376112 2009-11-10 16:54 /usr/bin/screen
I have the screen and screen-profile packages installed and I'm unable
to use multiuser screen sessions:
gm...@ktk7:~$ screen
Oh, right, I misunderstood you. Yes, Micah, I agree, that can be
confusing and I regret having ever put that dpkg-divert in place.

Dustin, I'm aware of that. However, if a user gets the message "screen
needs to be run setuid", and then sets /usr/bin/screen (which is really
the profiles wrapper) to setuid, and still gets that message, they'll be
confused. I've seen that happen before; I suspect that's what happened
here.

screen-profiles/byobu has never set the setuid bit.
I think it would be nice if Debian/Ubuntu had a low debconf question
that would allow users to dpkg-reconfigure screen and turn that
on/off.

Some versions of Ubuntu had a package called "screen-profiles" that
installed a wrapper around screen; it may be that, that has the suid bit
set. Look for another binary in /usr/bin whose name starts with "screen"
("screen.real"? Can't remember), and suid that one.
Newer Ubuntus have that package
