I now found out, it does *NOT* fix itself. In contrast, it unfixes itself! Even when I correct the permissions manually, they're wrong some time later (probably after the next upgrade). So the bug still exists, makes the package basically unusable (actually worse than that -- more annyoing than helpful) and has been reported many times for a long time now! So can you please fix it finally, if it's so minor as you say?
