Actually the problem only occursa if debconf configuration fails or is skipped. 
Only then will the example aiccu.conf be copied with world readable 
permissions. aiccu.postinst sets the permissions correctly if a configuration 
exists, otherwise it doesn't touch the installed aiccu.conf. Yet if you edit 
the example aiccu.conf manually, it will still have world readable permissions. 
So this might not classify as a bug after all.
Should aiccu.postinst set the permissions of aiccu.conf to 600 even if no 
configuration exists or if the package was upgraded? Someone could have the the 
file group readable by intent, for example.

/etc/aiccu.conf world readable by default
