Why?  If we can handle such case (umask != *77), why we don't handle
this?

Grep in scripts/ for 'fowner' 

controllib.pl:@fowner = (getpwnam(getlogin()))[2,3];
dpkg-distaddfile.pl:chown(@fowner, "$fileslistfile.new") 
dpkg-gencontrol.pl:chown(@fowner, "$fileslistfile.new") 
dpkg-shlibdeps.pl:chown(@fowner, "$varlistfile.new") ||


I think, this behaviour is that, what would be expected.  Please correct
me, If I'm wrong.
