Agreed.

However, I don't think it is acceptable to apply these permissions (on
a directory shipped by the package) unconditionally at configure time,
the way the proposed patch does it: e.g. it changes the state of
dpkg -managed files behind its feet, and it prevents the administrator
from using dpkg-statoverride. Hence, I'm removing the "patch"
tag. Sorry.

I think a better way to fix this bug would be to fix the package (and
possibly upstream) build system so that this directory is created with
the correct owner by dpkg itself.

Cheers,
