debhelper/squeeze includes magic to prevent /etc/sudoers.d/* from having bad permissions (patch and bugreport: http://bugs.debian.org/589574 ). I don't think having such a check in lintian would be useful anymore, since: * lintian can not check maintainer scripts for creating files with wrong permissions. * There shouldn't be many maintainers who don't use debhelper, use lintian and would fail to set correct permissions. Should this bug report be closed? Regards Carsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
