You should force the non-standard permissions you need after dh_fixperms and before dh_suidregister. Also, be *careful* with dh_suidregister. It is a major spot of trouble if you change your permissions later in such a way that a call to suidunregister is not made anymore where it was made in the past (by dh_suidregister). This leaves dangerous cruft behind in a system after a package upgrade, and will break your permission changes the next time cron.daily runs suidregister in that system. I've had a security bugfix disabled by a left-over suidregister entry, already in one of my packages. Tough way to learn. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
