Bug#364832: don't use dpkg-ststoverride like that and nobody gets hurt

[Michal Politowski]

dpkg-statoverride was created first and foremost for the admin to use.
In your maintainer script you'd better use the idiom
if ! dpkg-statoverride --list /usr/bin/fusermount > /dev/null; then
        # admin changed nothing
        chown and chmod to your heart's content
fi # else the admin changed something (say, the group able to use fusermount) 
and you should not interfere

This way you'll avoid not only this bug but also heavy objects flying
in your general direction from some unhappy admin.

If you go this route, I'd also suggest removing on upgrade the override previous
versions of fuse-utils created (of course iff it is exactly like what the 
package
did and not modified by the local administrator).
