+  * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
+    they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file
+    changes. It seems that fakeroot behaves the same as linux 2.1 here. I
+    was relying on the old behavior to get rid of suid and sgid bits on files.
+    Since this no longer happens implicitly, I've changed to clearing the
+    bits explicitly.
+  * There's also a small behavior change involved here. Before, dh_fixperms
+    did not clear suid permissions on files that were already owned by root.
+    Now it does.
+  * dh_fixperms.1: cleaned up the docs to mention that those bits are
+    cleared.
