These are all bugs, but all of them seem to have been fixed by the latest
version of the packages (from unstable.)

All fixed on my system, which is using procmail 3.10-7.

All fixed after ppp version 2.2.0f-20, I think.

This is no suprise, when a user looks up a man page, the catman page ends up
owned by their group.

These are all not a problem.

/etc/cron.daily/ppp also appears to be fixed by ppp 2.2.0f-20 and above.
If you find any more of these, you should report them as bug reports against
the offending packages.
