Bug#553580: dpkg: "Unable to alter IO priority" when running inside a vserver

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.4.1
Severity: normal

When running inside a vserver, the capability to alter the IO priority may not
be available.

Currently, due the daily cron job configuration, I get an email from the system
every day:

---------------------8<----------------------
Subject: Cron <root@testing01> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )

/etc/cron.daily/man-db:
start-stop-daemon: Unable to alter IO priority to mask 24583 (Operation not permitted)
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/man-db exited with return code 2
---------------------8<----------------------

I cannot find a way to disable this specific message thus I think that's a bug.

This error has already been demoted to a simple warning in the upcoming
dpkg 1.15.5.
