Bug#962420: /usr/local/share/fonts owned by group staff even if /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local not present

Package: fontconfig-config
Version: 2.13.1-2
Severity: normal
The /usr/local/share/fonts directory, as created by the postinst script of
fontconfig-config, is always owned by group staff, with permissions 2775.
This is a violation of Debian Policy §9.1.2. Those specific ownerships and
permissions should only be given when the file /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local
is present. When it is not, the directory should be owned by root:root and have
permissions 0775.
Note that, since buster, new installations do not have
/etc/staff-group-for-usr-local by default, which makes this bug biting more
often.
Best,
