Please unblock package micro-evtd

[ Reason ]

Fix micro-evtd creating its pid and status files in /var/run with world-writable permissions (#988119).

[ Impact ]

- The pid and status files in /var/run are mode 666, which could be a potential security issue. - micro-evtd does not stop when asked to with "/etc/init.d/micro-evtd stop", because start-stop-daemon refuses to use the insecure pid file. - Because of that, the daemon also does not restart on upgrade as it should, instead the old version remains running.

[ Tests ]

There are no automated tests. I manually tested the install and upgrade cases (testing→unstable).

[ Risks ]

The change should be trivial, but it is possible (if unlikely) that I missed some case where the umask 000 was actually needed.

[ Checklist ]
 [✓] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
 [✓] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
 [✓] attach debdiff against the package in testing

[ Other info ]

The package builds a udeb. I tested an installation using a d-i daily build with the updated package included, and confirmed the corrected file permissions in the d-i environment.

The issue exists already in buster (not a regression).

unblock micro-evtd/3.4-7

Thank you,
Ryan
