starting with 4.60-3, it is possible to override the default
permissions of the log file directory with dpkg-statoverride. The
postinst scripts are going to honor the settings in dpkg-statoverride
and will re-set the permissions to whatever is configured there.

I think this solves the issue by allowing local configuration and
intend to close this bug by 2006-04-30.

If the original submitter still disagrees, I advise to take the issue
to the tech ctte until the end of April.

Greetings
Marc
