look at the `hg log` or `SPKG.txt` for this. With my current merge-script
this information is lost anyway because every spkg is unpacked and
repacked (in between changes are committed, a `hg tag` is added and the
spkg is checked for some obvious mistakes).
Yep, in the Sage distros.
I won't object making both modifications optional, i.e. adding separate
options to `sage-pkg` for changing the owner/group, and the file modes
("permissions").
The first could default to "yes" (or `True`), the second IMHO shouldn't.
