Not just Ubuntu.  I believe pretty much every system that Mailman runs
on runs into these issues every once in a while.

It's important to run bin/check_perms every time you upgrade, and
check the output carefully (IIRC setup.py runs it automatically, so
the important part is checking the output).  If it's not 100% clean,
then run "bin/check_perms -f".  Sometimes multiple runs are
necessary.
