Paul, I don't think you are an idiot, and, I wasn't trying to treat you like one.

But were they systems that had been installed as potato/woody, or slink and then upgraded?

Is it a bug or > not? Honestly, I don't know. I merely replied to your post to point out that there's a high chance that this is by design and not accident. Since slink was the only release that ever shipped with /root as 700, potato installing it as 755 is merely a return to earlier (and, to me, marginally preferable) policy.
