Bug#329958: Check for directory write access before creating the .deb

Package: java-package Version: 0.24 Say a have a directory /tmp/java that is writable by root and readable (but not writable) by everybody. Inside this directory I have my jdk-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin file. Now I type: > cd /tmp/java > fakeroot java-package jdk-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin
