Title:
  amavisd-milter is no longer built w/PIE and BINDNOW hardening

Status in “amavisd-milter” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “amavisd-milter” source package in Natty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: amavisd-milter

  In maverick and and earlier, amavisd-new-milter was built with the PIE
  and BINDNOW hardening options (see
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/HardeningWrapper and
  http://wiki.debian.org/Hardening). With the replacement of amavisd-
  new-milter by amavisd-milter, this hardening protection is gone.

  To reproduce:
  1) grab the hardening_check script from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol/qa-regression-testing/master/view/head:/scripts/built-binaries/hardening-check
  2) unpack via dpkg-deb -x or install amavsid-milter
  3) run the hardening-check script on (EXTRACTEDPATH)/usr/sbin/amavisd-milter
  4) output should look like:
    /usr/sbin/amavisd-milter:
    Position Independent Executable: yes
    Stack protected: yes
    Fortify Source functions: yes
    Read-only relocations: yes
    Immediate binding: yes
  however, without hardening-wrapper applied, it looks like:
    /usr/sbin/amavisd-milter:
    Position Independent Executable: no, normal executable!
    Stack protected: yes
    Fortify Source functions: yes
    Read-only relocations: yes
    Immediate binding: no, not found!
