The problem is that some of the files can get installed 600 root.root on
some systems (no idea why, umask is 002 and the files get created by
redirecting shell output) and I need to fix that in the postinst even for
existing installations. For that, I need the definition of "readable by
the webserver". I also think 644 root.root is okay, but I just wanted to
make sure (policy doesn't contain the word "www-data" according to grep).
I'll go for
if dpkg --compare-versions $2 ge 0.1.6-3; then
if dpkg --compare-versions $2 lt 0.1.6-6; then
for i in $conffiles; do
chown root:root $i
chmod 644 $i
