I appologise for not being clear enough: it is upstream, who decided to
remove suidperl. I assume that the reason is a security concern.

http://www.cpan.org/src/README.html

It still existed as an optional component in perl 5.10.1, but does not
exist anymore in versions 5.12.3 and 5.14.0.


In other words, x2goserver will not run on debian in future either.
(Unless debian devs fork perl.)

regards,
Milan
