I think on every upgrade dpkg will change the permissions back to root:root and 755 and postinst will have to reset them? It is suboptimal, yes. I thought about it after I have uploaded the fixed version. On the other hand I do not think permissions are reset when unpacking the new files. I think this is only set at first unpack. I'm not sure though. I'm reopening and making it a wishlist bug to skip this part in postinst (for permissions, not for user owner) as it could be handled in a better way.

Less than good. It is now fixed. Unfortunatly it will not fix it for you as this fix only applies to a fresh install. But it will be fixed for everyone else. If you remove the package and the /var/lib/debarchiver/incoming directory and make a new install it will be fixed for you too.
