Yes, this is a problem:

drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Oct 31 22:29 1996 usr/include/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Dec 22 15:49 1995 usr/include/arpa/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Nov 29 20:44 1995 usr/include/bsd/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Nov 29 20:44 1995 usr/include/bsd/sys/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Sep 28 02:20 1996 usr/include/gnu/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Feb 14 02:26 1996 usr/include/i386/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Sep 28 02:20 1996 usr/include/m68k/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Oct 31 22:29 1996 usr/include/net/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Jul 17 03:29 1996 usr/include/netinet/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Nov 29 20:44 1995 usr/include/protocols/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Nov 29 20:45 1995 usr/include/pthread/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Feb 14 02:26 1996 usr/include/pthread/mit/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Jun  6 00:07 1996 usr/include/pthread/mit/sys/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Jun  6 00:07 1996 usr/include/rpc/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Sep 14 03:32 1996 usr/include/rpcsvc/
drwxr-xr-- root/root         0 Sep 28 02:20 1996 usr/include/sys/

dpkg doesn't update permissions on directories when it installs, but
first time installers will see this problem.
