Debian has been using UPG for decades yet no one has complained about
it. Why didn't you raise a bug when UPG was first introduced?
People configuring Debian to run in a non-UPG environment can quite
easily also change the umask. As Debian uses UPG by default then the
default umask should be 0002. If you change one then you can change the
other at the same time.
