Package: debian-policy Version: 3.5.2.0 Severity: wishlist In my opinion, the example for creating a directory under /usr/local is slightly misleading. As the default umask for root is 022, plain mkdir will result in a directory which is not group-writable. I think the example should state 'mkdir -m2775 -p' instead.
I know the suggested permissions are explicitly stated a bit later, but
I think copy-pasting an example is something one does more often than
thinking things through. No offense. At least python{,2}-base seems to
suffer from this.
