He needs to ship it with whatever should be the default. Only if
the default has to be changed should dpkg-statoverride be used,
which can be either because the local admin wants something different,
or because a debconf or postinst script asked the user what default
he wants and he/she chooses something an option that happens to be
different from the permissions/ownership used in the package.
