Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal

   Hi,

 It seems that when you dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, the
 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file might be replaced by a newer version.  When
 this happens, the mode of the file is reset to 600, ie:
   bee# ls -l /etc/X11/XF86Config-4    
   -rw-r--r--  1 root root 3027 Aug  1 17:13 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
   bee# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
   bee# ls -l /etc/X11/XF86Config-4     
   -rw-------  1 root root 2975 Aug  1 17:16 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
   bee# umask
   022

 Is this normal behavior?  I think it would be best to preserve the
 original mode of the file, or document the behavior, but I could not
 find anything on the topic in the
 /usr/share/doc/{xserver-xfree86,xfree86-common}/ directories.

   Regards,
