Disclaimer: I am not a Debian user, I merely wrote JtR. My understanding is that some supported versions of Debian continue to use the ancient JtR 1.6, released over 8 years ago. I recommend that you start by updating to JtR 1.7+, which includes system-wide installation support. IIRC, this was already done in testing.
JtR 1.6 was not meant to be packaged at all, which is why doing so results in some weirdness. My recommendation is that you use the latest 1.7.x for testing and unstable and use the latest 1.7.0.x for stable.

Is the issue that a file that just happens to be called "restore" but is unrelated to JtR may be overwritten? If so, this is resolved by upgrading to JtR 1.7 with system-wide installation support enabled. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this!
