Please, read the manual.
The reported codes are not the file attributes, those are the status of the
performed checks. DPKG only has support for verifying the MD5, so the result
is always "??.??????" for a passed check and "??5??????" for a failed check.
And the reported failed checks on Armbian are because the "armbian-config"
package modifies configuration files of other packages.
Here, in a minimal Armbian install, I got:
??5?????? c /etc/skel/.bashrc
??5?????? c /etc/logrotate.d/apt
??5?????? c /etc/systemd/journald.conf
??5?????? c /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
??5?????? c /etc/default/rng-tools-debian
??5?????? c /etc/logrotate.d/alternatives
??5?????? c /etc/logrotate.d/dpkg
??5?????? c /etc/logrotate.d/aptitude
??5?????? c /etc/sysctl.conf
??5?????? c /etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d/rng-tools
??5?????? c /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/rng-tools
??5?????? c /etc/default/rng-tools
??5?????? /etc/armbian-release
??5?????? /etc/default/armbian-ramlog.dpkg-dist
??5?????? /etc/default/armbian-zram-config.dpkg-dist
??5?????? c /etc/issue
??5?????? c /etc/issue.net
??5?????? c /etc/update-motd.d/10-uname
??5?????? c /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
??5?????? c /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
As you see, all are configuration files modified by Armbian.
In the same hardware, a SID install reports all checks OK.
Have Fun!
