I think so.  Those dirs should be 0750...

Well, I don't recall why we have them 0755, but it is like that in sarge, so
I am pretty sure I was the one that screwed up.

We have to fix it in amavisd-new.postinst, taking care to not override
local admin changes.

Could you please file a bug to that effect?  That way, we won't forget to do
it.
