One may argue that this bug should have severity "critical" since usage of
sudo (like what's done in check-symbols or mk-sbuild) might "make
unrelated software on the system break". But, maybe its too much for this
bug. I'll let you decide which severity is more appropriate.

(I originally set tags because 1) there is nothing to fix at this point in
Squeeze imho, and 2) still don't know if it should have an RC severity).
