No. The only way to give a directory special permissions in debian is to make all packages that contain the directory have the same perms. Otherwise the results are essentially random, no matter what else you do. I can dpkg --unpack foo.deb which depends on ppp before ppp is installed at all and get a 755 /etc/ppp; there are lots of other similar scenarios. -- see shy jo
