I suppose one would best check how extractors are called from
debootstrap, and how dpkg-deb/ar behave in such a case. Maybe one will
end up looking at how dpkg deals with different permissions for
directories shipped from multiple packages. First around, first served;
or the other way around; or the most permissive, etc.
