It appears that the problem is not present in 1.0.*, as those versions
do not create a backup for that file. At least, my local install has
propper permissions on the file:

$ ls -l ~/.liferea/fedlist.opml
-rw------- 1 rodrigo users 5954 2007-06-03 21:31 
/home/rodrigo/.liferea/feedlist.opml

Lars, could you please confirm this?

In any case, I backported the change and prepared a package for it,
attached here. If the problem is found to be present please review it
for upload.
