How is it a .deb issue? You build a .deb from a root tree, just like
RPM, and of course it has to use the user/group/permissions that exist

it deal with installing a .rpm with files owned by different users?
Using a separate attribute ;)  Creating a "%files" list, you can
specify permission attributes as follows:

%files
%defattr(-, root, root)
/usr/bin/foo
%attr(750, user, group) /usr/bin/bar

Well that's interesting...I'm not sure if it would be easy to integrate into Makefiles and such, but it might be worth a try.


Oh and you might want to try 'fink install rpm', if you've turned on the unstable distribution :-) . I believe Darwinports has a slightly enhanced version of RPM around. On the other hand, it would not be difficult at all to emulate something like this in a dpkg PostInstScript.
