OK, thanks for reminding me.

... and breaks everything else:^)

/bin/ld: cannot find -lber collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'd suggest to use LDFLAGS for any additional libraries that might be
needed:

   ./configure LDFLAGS=-lber ....

Yes, that's important, but the proposed solution is pretty Debian-specific.
I'll better see how to make permission checks configurable at run-time.

As far as I can see, that has been fixed already.

Applied.

I have removed mailutils.scm from EXTRA_DIST, this should fix it.

It has already been fixed: bootstrap now downloads the latest version of
this file directly from the Radius repo (see 608036ea).

This too has already been fixed.  There's only one instance of that
constant left, it is in libmailutils/base/hostname.c, where its use is
intended.

Let me know if I have missed something.
