Package: ejabberd
Version: 1.1.2-6
Severity: minor

ejabberd's postinst script unconditionally changes the owner and
permissions of /etc/ejabberd. I had used dpkg-statoverride to
change the group to adm and allow members of that group to read
and traverse the directory... it would be nice if that wasn't
undone by the postinst script. :)

The script can check before running chown/chmod with something
like this:

if ! dpkg-statoverride --list /etc/ejabberd >/dev/null; then
        chown ejabberd:ejabberd /etc/ejabberd
        chmod 700 /etc/ejabberd
fi
