Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.5.2.0
Severity: wishlist
In my opinion, the example for creating a directory under /usr/local is
slightly misleading. As the default umask for root is 022, plain mkdir
will result in a directory which is not group-writable. I think the
example should state 'mkdir -m2775 -p' instead.
I know the suggested permissions are explicitly stated a bit later, but
I think copy-pasting an example is something one does more often than
thinking things through. No offense. At least python{,2}-base seems to
suffer from this.
