Errr...   Thanks for taking the time to look into this, but...
Would it really be possible for you to hold it off a little bit
longer?  On Friday, I prepared a new version, uploaded it to
mentors.d.n, and sent the RFS to debian-mentors.  George Danchev
is taking care of it, and he replied with some concerns about
this particular fix:

  That only works for a newly installed dma package, and won't work for
  upgrading from older versions.  My best bet on that would be a debconf
  question asking the user to perform the above actions on  files at
  /etc/dma/.

I think this debconf question idea was actually something that I proposed
in an earlier private conversation with him, but then I thought I'd just
do it the easy way for a start.  However, George is right that this
will not help existing installations (administrators would still have to
chmod auth.conf by hand), so I'm about to go the debconf way.

If you could really hold off for a day or two, I should be ready with
a new version today or tomorrow.

Still, once again, thanks for actually taking the time and doing
this work!

G'luck,
Peter
