#459255 - strace: chown 755 debian/tmp in debian/rules
http://bugs.debian.org./459255

The bug in the source package *is* significant:

$ dpkg -c /var/cache/apt/archives/strace_4.5.15-1.1_i386.deb |sed 2q
drwxr-xr-x 755/root          0 2008-01-12 00:00 ./
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2008-01-12 00:00 ./usr/

However it's not as severe as it might be, since dpkg doesn't chown
pre-existing directories (and / is a very common directory..).  Also
755 is in the "system" UID range so no normal user is going to get
ownership of /.
