No, the file permissions are set in the tar-file from the list

This should probably be /usr/src/debian. Then we could have a nice set of
Makefiles installed to let us do a "make world" style sy

IMHO, a parser for the "Last week's uploads into i386" files regularly
posted to debian-(devel-)changes would be ideal. Then you create another
mailing list to house these announcements only, and make dpkg remove the
old info when the package is upgraded.
