[Bug 154730] Please remove secvpn source and binary from Hardy

[Scott Kitterman]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: secvpn

secvpn |       2.21 | hardy/universe | source, all

This package appears to be broken, obsolete, and have a very poor
security design.  While looking into fixing Bug #152968, I noticed that
in addition to still needing the long gone /etc/inittab, it also does
interesting things like add its user to the sudoers group.

It looks to me like the init process, including setuid will have to be
completely redone.  Please have a look at this package and unless you
think it can reasonably be made safe and funcitonal, remove it.  There
are plenty of other options in the repostories.
