Package: dash Version: 0.5.8-2.3 The file /var/lib/dpkg/info/dash.md5sums has mode 0664 rather than the expected 0644, see also the control-file-has-bad-permissions lintian error. That's because it is created via shell redirection, meaning the permissions depend on the umask.
I have attached a patch which fixes that. If only there was some helper program[1] which could take care of such boring details automatically! 1. https://manpages.debian.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dh_md5sums
