My guess was the d-i package 'rootskel'.
Checking the facts learnt that it must be somethingelse.
I could find var/log/messages under debian-installer/packages/rootskel/src/
but nothing with 'root:adm 640' or 'root:root 644'

When the originate of the file permission is pointed out,
I do like to know what the future file permission of /var/log/messages
will be and especially WHY.

used to have root:adm 640 for /var/log/messages
