Ah, ok. But the point was that it will miss many cases. For example, I've
never seen this warning in uml-utilities because it uses a
dynamically-allocated gid and so must use chmod in postinst rather than
setting permissions in the .deb. If this could be done at build time rather
than at install time, the check would be perfect.
