Looking at some issues with newer binutils and glibc at

At least dh_strip and dh_dwz call out to external programs, which may not
preserve file ownership and permissions.  Looking at some old packaging not
using the sequencer, I usually see dh_strip called *before* dh_fixperms.

Would it be appropriate to change the sequencer to call dh_fixperms as late as
possible, so that it is more robust working with tools which don't preserve file
ownership and permissions?
