It can be used non-setgid if the sysadmin is paranoid, yes (then the
cache functions will be non-operative).

Earlier, that meant that the setuid/setgid bits got cleared
automatically by some daemon, is that not true anymore? Also, since the
setgid/setuid bit isn't in the actual package in my case (it can't be -
the group isn't created until after the package is decompressed), I
*need* to set the permissions on the file each time.
