I'm sorry for having been pretty rubbish; real life has just been *so*
crazy in the last few years :-(

Comments on the version in collab-maint (following a very brief
glance at postinst):

- don't use sudo in the maintainer scripts; there's no guarantee it'll
  be installed; it runs as root, anyway, so you can just do a plain
  chmod.

- the install/upgrade directories are chmod +x early on, but this is
  not undone in the abort-* or * targets; also, the upgrade directory
  is never locked again - is this correct?

If someone else has time to mentor this, that would be great.
