Bug#62668: permissions on the mail spool directory

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

Hi.

I made a proposal to change the mail spool from mail.mail to root.mail.

Still looking for seconds.

Those who think root.mail is wrong should perhaps make a counter-proposal
which adds a suitable rationale for using mail.mail (is there a rationale
for that?).

I wonder how would we deal with this bug if we followed the procedure 
proposed by Ian. Would I be the person to decide about this just 
because I happen to maintain base-files, which is the *only* package 
which has to implement this policy?
