Yes, I definately consider this a bug.  I have a 077 umask, and packages
not handling this gracefully in debian/rules (e.g. using cp rather than
install to install file into debian/tmp or so) has bitten me multiple
times in the past.

I wouldn't consider it RC though, as all autobuilder and pbuilder
environments use a 022 umask (afaik).
