[Logcheck-devel] Bug#302379: dh_installlogcheck installs files as root:root 644, not root:logcheck 640

[Marc Sherman]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.35
Severity: normal

I reported a bug on a couple clamav packages (302253, 302254) which
noted that in Sarge, logcheck files are supposed to be root:logcheck
640, not root:root 644.  The clamav maintainer replied that he's using
dh_installlogcheck to install them, so presumably that dh_ app should be
changed to fix the permission.

Is this the case?  Is there a canonical policy for logcheck file
permissions in sarge?  If so, is dh_installlogcheck the right place to
fix it?

I'm not sure if logcheck or debhelper is the right package for this bug.
If it's the latter, please reassign it.
