Thanks for the bug report. I am not going to fix this in the current 
upload I'm afraid.

builddeb uses python's tarfile, and I can't see a way to either
give it a umask, or make it use the users.

Perhaps I can fix this by chmodding things afterwards, but I
would rather not go to that effort now.

Thanks,
