Hmm, I think I'd rather see the actual intended perms be part of the
tar metadata. More so given that I think this is a security sensitive
directory?
I was telling Chris much the same and as he preferred the statoverride
mechanism, I asked him to invite you for review.
So just for clarity on my part, what would the recommended way forwards
be for ppp? Make /etc/ppp/peers be 0700 in the tarball _and_ add the
statoverride as well? And at some point dpkg will figure out who "owns"
/etc/ppp/peers to resolve the metadata conflict?
Cheers,
Chris
