What does uname -s show on kfreebsd/hurd? I can't check this.

Well, I can't really do this, because helpful debhelper will revert my
changes, unless I override the permission normalization procedure in
rules, which I don't want to do, because there are often permission
issues with the tarballs.

As I mentioned in the previous email, the file only gets packaged if
arch is Linux via mc.install.linux, so do you think it's a good idea to
chgrp || true in such a case unconditionally?
