I'm pretty sure that's what the magicfilterconfig script was supposed to
do, but it got itself confused enough that it confused me, too.
I never did change the permissions in those directories myself; they
just eventually worked, presumably because of what the package installs
were doing.
Speaking of which, and maybe I'm misunderstanding the process, but where
is it specified that script init.d/A will be executed as user B?
