Same here on Debian (Jessie).

I wonder what's up with that Ubuntu 16.04 instal--presumably this was a bug
in the Debian package that Ubuntu inherited before freezing and then

Except IIRC it actually takes some work to mess up permissions like that
in a Debian package.... The helper scripts really want to normalize
the permissions on everything for you.
