Just for reference:
I am not completely sure dpkg-statoverride is the right way to do that.
Currently not resetting changes on every upgrade might be better,
dpkg-statoverride really is a tool for dpkg managed files. OTOH dpkg
v2 will probably support shipping files owned by users that are
generated in post/preinst in the debian package.
