Since I have figured it out why the "control directory" became setgid (since it have been created by dpkg itself, so dpkg seemed to have been the culprit) I need no further clarification of the message, but a brief googling popped up several cases of the said problem without solution (or with partial, obviosuly wrong solutions based on wrong analysis) so it have seemed to me that there are definitely people who are using the code in question (which is the target audience of a message given by the code) and do not have the immediate oversight to be able to solve the problem. Took me 5-10 minutes, and I tend to believe I know what I'm doing. But its your package, your style. It's a way to make life more hackish, letting the user to look up the relevant information in his spare time. (Or, as you suggest, not to compile anything unless one's completely familiar with everything, which is a different approach from being helpful.) Thanks for the explanation.
