Re: on the use of chmod/chown in maintainer scripts

[Raphael Geissert <geissert@debian.org>]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for bringing up this issue again. Admittedly, there hasn't been much 
progress since it was discussed last year.

Hopefully, the discussion has focused on a solution to completely avoid the 
problem during upgrades.
For the general issue, the only progress I made was in the form of #608623, 
but I haven't spent any time trying to implement lchmod in the kernel.

Cheers,
