Those permission warnings are fixed.

That is the reason for this "resend"

According the manual page of lintian is there a check for "huge /usr/share".
Conglomerate 0.7.14-1[1] is about 1.4 Mb with a 1.2Mb /usr/share,
but lintian didn't complain about that huge /usr/share.
IMNSHO it makes sense to at least warn about a u.s. of more one megabyte.

Did I use lintian incorret
or is it triggered at a larger /usr/share ?
(then please tell me at which size )
