Well, if we do this, we need to make sure to handle the case where
people do something like:

  chown -R 755 debian/tmp/usr/bin
  chown g+s debian/tmp/usr/bin/special-binary

i.e. later commands would have to override previous ones.  (probably
obvious, but I just wanted to make sure this was kept in mind).
