Public bug reported:
Here is how to reproduce the problem :
1) create an empty folder (let's call it patch/) : mkdir patch
2) assign this package to a random group (e.g. floppy) : chgrp floppy patch
3) add a group sticky bit to the folder : chmod g+s patch
4) cd into it : cd patch/
5) get a package source (e.g. patch) : apt-get source patch
6) ls -l
Note that all files belong to the floppy group as excpected, but the
extracted folder and all it contains do not!!
