Ok. In that case I should take care to package it as setuid...

Now only the man page problem remains. But AFAIR programs only called from 
other programs should not be installed to /usr/bin (that's the place for 
programs intended to be run by users). It should go to /usr/lib if I 
remember correctly.
Am I right? Would this be hard to change?

Of course I could write a man page for kv4lsetup explaining that it should 
not be called by the user, but that doesn't seems like a nice solution.
