I generally find this strange, given the superuser powers of 'root'. But then, > pbuilder does set umask to 0022, and I can make cowbuilder do the > same. Thoughts? it would make the behaviour of the two consistent. I don't know who else, except for users of pbuilder, want to use cowbuilder in the first place, so expecting consistent behaviour between the two is imho a sane idea. I'd also appreciate appropriate comments in the man page of pbuilder/cowbuilder, as this is imho counterintuitive for people who usually have a umask 077 or 007 or similar, and there might have been a reason why the user set a umask of 07 in the first place.
