Bug#167422: files in /usr/share should be world-readable

[Glenn Maynard <glenn@zewt.org>]

Steve's message was only sent to d-d, not this bug, so you might have
missed it:

 http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2002/debian-devel-200211/msg00148.html

I'd suggest closing this bug and filing bugs against the individual
packages.  Perhaps a wishlist bug should be filed against lintian to
check for this, too.
