[Bug 1313550] Re: ping does not work as a normal user on trusty tarball cloud images.

[Jason Gerard DeRose]

This also affects the `gnome-keyring` package. The System76 imaging
system (Tribble) uses a tar-based approach similar to the MAAS fast-path
installer, and we've had to add a work-around for /usr/bin/gnome-
keyring-daemon on our desktop images:

$ getcap /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon 
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon = cap_ipc_lock+ep

I reckon there are other imaging systems out there likewise affected by
this. I strongly feel that the correct fix is to fix tar so its --xattrs
option works as expected. But in the meantime, it might be good to
switch back to using suid on /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon.
