Well, they are.  :)

Ever since I pulled my first copy of 3.18 from cvs, all compiles have asked
for the sudo password about 2/3rds through the process.  Without sudo it will
stop with an error before it can ask.  Without libcap2-bin, it will stop right
after you enter the password.

That happens with the following make command line:

make install SYMLINK=1 USE_DOSEMU=1

I pulled the GNUmakefile for the install in question on May 13th
(yesterday), but that is not the first time it has happened.

I don't otherwise use setcap with sbbs.  There could be something in the
config files I pulled down with it (fresh install, all stock) that might
currently be pointed to use setcap, but I have not been intentionally
specifying it anywhere for my compiles.

The two linux OSes in question are Ubuntu Bionic Beaver and Devuan Ascii.
