The one that makes some files or directories inside a .deb to be owned
by whoever builds the package (usually gid 1000), not by root.
To reproduce this under Linux you need to mount a partition using the
`bsdgroups' option AND use sudo or root (not fakeroot) to build the
package. Since nobody does this, and no autobuilder does it either,
we never noticed about it.
A simple "chown -R root.root debian/tmp" in debian/rules should fix this,
(unless there are other files or directories in the package which should
not be owned by root).
