Why not just file bugs against them? (If install.log is what it looks like from its filename, why is shipped at all? If it's not shipped but created by the package postinst when the elisp is compiled, what the heck is that stuff doing in /usr/share?) Also, make a policy proposal that all files in /usr/share be world-readable on Debian systems. In sum, I'm not sure why it was necessary to file a bug against "general" regarding this problem. -- G.
