Probably not, except that all local users are member of the None group. If file are created with 775 or 664 permissions (which hopefully no package uses), then every local, authenticated user can change the file. > Is setup expected to eventually run postinstall scripts as > administrator.administrators instead of administrators.none? It's not running scripts as administrators.none, it's running them as user.users-primary-group. That's "None" for all local accounts.
