What's the reason of chown'ing the conffile in the postinst
script -- in the first place (the conf files are usually
owned by root:root, except of unusual conditions), and
unconditionally, even if an admin changed the ownership
locally?  To me the former is a serious bug, and the
latter is a policy violation, but I'd like to know the
reasoning before filing bugs.

Thanks!
