Thinking about it again... Now here's a better reply:

You shouldn't do that. What you should do is:
chown -R mali:mali /home/ftp/debian

then there will be no issue anymore. Unfortunately, that's hardly 
something that could be fixed but with documentation, as doing the above 
in the script is very intrusive.

What it does is building a package containing the repository GPG public 
key, so that you can install the key when using the repository. If you 
already have a gpg key for the mali user, then it will use that.
