Bug#818789: boinc-client: boinc configuration files not rw for boinc group and permissions restored at every update

[lo]

Package: boinc-client
Version: 7.6.31+dfsg-1~bpo8+1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

The boinc daemon runs as user boinc so I expect to gain administration rights adding my user to the boinc group but all configuration files files in the boinc data directory (simlinked in /etc/boinc-client/) are not writable by the group.
In addition if I change g+w the files they are restored to the original permissions at avery update of the package.
Can you please change permissions of the files (if you think it is normally safe) or just avoid overwriting?
