Package: base-files
Version: 5lenny7
Severity: wishlist

On multi-user machines there can be the need to have /var/run/utmp not
readable for ordinary users.

Unfortunately every update of base-files resets the permissions and
ownership of the file, not respecting any entries in the
dpkg-statoverride database.

Please consider respecting dpkg-statoverride for /var/run/utmp (Probably
even for all files in postinst.in)

Alternativly the permissions and ownership could be set only, if the
file was newly created, as this is the case for some files mentioned in
postinst.in.

This bug effects also the base-files package version 5.9.
